    RELEASE NOTES

    1. Patch SG0003303 Release Note

    
    1.1 Supported Hardware Platforms 
           This patch contains bug fixes for Challenge S, Challenge DM,
           Challenge L, Challenge XL, O2, O200, and O2000 platforms.
           The software cannot be installed on other configurations.
    
    
    1.2 Supported Software Platforms
           This patch contains bug fixes for WebFORCE MediaBase 2.1
           that are needed by MediaBase when upgrading a MediaBase
           server to Irix 6.5 as well as the bug fixes contained in
           previous MediaBase rollup patches. This patch can be applied
           to the base versions of MediaBase for 6.2, 6.3, 6.4.  The
           base version numbers are as follows:  For MediaBase 6.2 and
           6.3, the base version is 1234179420 and for MediaBase 6.4,
           the base version is 1264179520.  The software cannot be
           installed on other configurations.
    
           NOTE: when applying this patchSG0003303 to MediaBase 2.1 for
           versions 6.2 or 6.3 you need to upgrade to Irix 6.5 first.
           Without doing so, inst will flag this patch as requiring a
           newer version of the installation tool.  When applying this
           patch to MediaBase 2.1 for 6.4 you can install the patch
           first and then upgrade to Irix 6.5 or upgrade to 6.5 and
           then install patchSG0003303.
    
           After your system has been upgraded to Irix 6.5 and
           patchSG0003303 is installed it is recommended that you run
           mbaseinit with caution to be sure Irix is tuned for
           MediaBase.  But be very careful to answer NO to mbaseinit's
           prompt "Do you want to reinitialize the database? (yes/no)
           [no]"  There are no schema changes to the MediaBase Informix
           database for this patch.

    1.5 Installation Instructions
           Because you want to install only the patches for problems
           you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
           default.  After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed
           in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
           meet your specific needs.
    
           If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
           notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
           meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
           inst.  The inst program does not allow you to install
           patches that are incompatible with your hardware or
    
    
           software.
    
           Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
           software product.  Follow the instructions in your Software
           Installation Administrator's Guide to bring up the miniroot
           form of the software installation tools.
    
           Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:
    
             1.  At the Inst> prompt, type
    
                 install patchSGxxxxxxx
    
                 where xxxxxxx is the patch number.
    
             2.  Initiate the installation sequence. Type
    
                 Inst> go
    
             3.  You may find that two patches have been marked as
                 incompatible.  (The installation tools reject an
                 installation request if an incompatibility is
                 detected.)  If this occurs, you must deselect one of
                 the patches.
    
                 Inst> keep patchSGxxxxxxx
    
                 where xxxxxxx is the patch number.
    
             4.  After completing the installation process, exit the
                 inst program by typing
    
                 Inst> quit
    
    
    1.6 Patch Removal Instructions
           To remove a patch, use the versions remove command as you
           would for any other software subsystem.  The removal process
           reinstates the original version of software unless you have
           specifically removed the patch history from your system.
    
           versions remove patchSGxxxxxxx
    
           where xxxxxxx is the patch number.
    
           To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
           versions removehist command to remove the patch history.
    
           versions removehist patchSGxxxxxxx
    
    
           where xxxxxxx is the patch number.

    INST SUBSYSTEM CHECKSUMS

    These checksums help to provide a 'signature' for the patch inst image which can be used to authenticate other inst images. You can obtain this kind of output by running sum -r on the image (from the command line):

    15864      8   patchSG0003303.idb
    44821     13 patch/README.patch.3303
