ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for Advanced File System Utilities V4.0E on Compaq
Tru64 UNIX V4.0 through V4.0E (formerly DIGITAL UNIX). This kit
addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed in AFA436:
o This ECO is a re-packaging of the V4.0E, Release 435 kit.
The defragment utility was moved into a separate subset.
The previous release of the V4.0E kit (release 435) installed
the defragment utility in a way that caused difficulty for the
installation of patches. Because of this, the inaugural patch
kit for DIGITAL UNIX V4.0E will prevent the installation of
all previous releases of this product. If the user wishes
to install this product after applying a patch kit, they will
be required to install either this release of the product, or
a later release.
Due to the inclusion of the defragment utility into the DIGITAL UNIX
operating system, installing prior releases of the Advanced File System
Advanced Utilities software will result in conflicting or incorrect
information in the database of installed software. As a result,
de-installing an older Advanced File System Advanced Utilities kit may
delete the defragment utility from the system.
To address this issue, patch kits for DIGITAL UNIX versions V4.0D and
V4.0E will 1) repair the database, and 2) prevent the installation
of the older Advanced File System Advanced Utilities kits. Similar
functionality is being built into the next release of the operating
system.
If you have installed a patch kit that prevents the installation of
the older Advanced File System Advanced Utilities kits, you will only
be able to install a newer kit on your system. This kit contains the
same files as the previous release of the v4.0e Advanced File System
Advanced Utilities kit, but the defragment utility has been moved into
a separate subset so as to prevent the problem from recurring.
This problem is fixed in Advanced File System Utilities V4.0F for Compaq
Tru64 UNIX.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
This update is installed using the setld utility. All prior releases of
this software must be removed before installing this release. See the
Installation Guide for complete details. A summary follows:
1) Log onto the system as root.
2) Shut down the existing daemon with the following command:
/sbin/init.d/advfsd stop
3) Remove the existing kits.
The following command may be used to determine which kits
are installed on your system:
/usr/sbin/setld -i
To find which kits should be deleted, use the following command:
/usr/sbin/setld -i | grep AFAADV | grep installed
The kits which should be deleted would have names beginning
with one of the following strings:
AFAADVANCED4*
AFAADVMAN4*
AFAADVDAEMON4*
AFAADVGUI4*
To remove a kit, use a command of the form:
/usr/sbin/setld -d [kit-name]
e.g.,
/usr/sbin/setld -d AFAADVDAEMON401
4) Extract the subset files from the ECO kit.
The subset files are shipped together in one tar file. Before
you can install the new kit, you must extract the subset files
from the tar file. First locate a filesystem which has
sufficient space to hold the extracted subset files. (This
should use approximately 6 megabytes of disk space.) Then
cd to a directory on that filesystem.
The subset files are stored in dot-relative form in the tar file.
When unpacked, the ECO kit will create two directories in your
current directory: kit, and doc. For example, if the ECO kit
is in your current directory, and you wish to store the subset
files in the same directory tree, you might do the following:
a) mkdir AFA436
This creates a directory "beneath" your current
directory where the subset files will be put.
b) cd AFA436
Move into the directory
c) tar -xvf ../AFA436.tar .
This command extracts the subset files from the ECO
tar file that is named "AFA436.tar" and stored in
the ".." directory. (That is, the directory which
holds the AFA436 directory.)
d) ls
This will show you the contents of the AFA436 directory.
You should see two directories: kit and doc. The
subsets and control files are in the kit directory.
5) Install the new kit using a command of the form:
/usr/sbin/setld -l [location of setld files]
Continuing from the previous example, do:
a) cd kit
b) /usr/sbin/setld -l .
You will be presented with a menu of subsets that you may
install. Note that with this kit has an additional subset.
The AFADEFRAGMENT subset did not exist in previous kits.
If you do not have the defragment binary on your system,
the AdvFS Defragment utility will be selected automatically.
6) If you chose to install the AdvFS Daemon, you may restart it
with the command:
/sbin/init.d/advfsd start
A system reboot is not necessary.
