This chapter provides samples of using
dupatch
to
do the following:
Perform a typical patch kit installation (Section 5.1)
View the patch documentation (Section 5.2)
Track patches (Section 5.3)
Perform a baseline analysis (Section 5.4)
Delete patches (Section 5.5)
5.1 Sample 1: Typical Patch Kit Installation
The example in this section shows a typical patch kit installation performed from a psuedo-terminal on a system running in single-user mode.
The output of installations performed from a system console and those performed in multiuser mode differ slightly. To see the output of single-user installation from a console, see Section 4.7.1.1. To see the output of a multiuser installation, see Section 4.7.1.2.

(depending upon the size of the patch kit, this may take a while) *** Start of Special Instructions *** SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR Tru64 UNIX V5.0 Patch 48.00 Update your /etc/fstab entries to enable the selected mount option ("throttle") on the selected UFS filesystems. For example, change from: /dev/rz12e /mnt/test ufs rw 0 2 TO: /dev/rz12e /mnt/test ufs rw,throttle 0 2 Append to /etc/sysconfigtab any tuning changes. For further information on this patch, refer to the Patch Summary and Release Notes document. The release note for this patch includes a section on TUNING. The TUNING section describes the new io-throttle-shift, io-throttle-maxmzthruput, and io-throttle-static tunables. These tunables are configured in the "vfs" stanza. The following 3 lines make up an example: ---------------------------------------- Press <RETURN> to continue viewing: ---------------------------------------- vfs: io-throttle-shift = 1 io-throttle-maxmzthruput = 1 (Note - if you already have a vfs stanza in your sysconfigtab file, then just add the 2 "io-throttle" entries.) *** End of Special Instructions *** Press RETURN to proceed... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To Make Patches Reversible - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: - You have the option to make the patches reversible so you can revert the system to its state prior to the installation of a patch. - Reversibility is achieved by compressing and saving a copy of the files being replaced by the patches. These files would be restored to the system if you choose to delete a patch. - If you choose to make patches NON-reversible, then the system cannot be restored to the state prior to the installation of a patch; you will not be able to delete the patches later. - This patch kit may force a small set of patches to be reversible to ensure your upgrades to future versions of Tru64 UNIX are successful. The Patch Utility will make those patches reversible automatically. Refer to the Release Notes / Installation Instructions provided with this patch kit. Do you want the patches to be reversible? [y]:[Return]By default, the backup copies of the installed patches will be saved in "//var/adm/patch/backup". If you have limited space in /var, you may want to make the backup directory the mount point for a separate disk partition, an NFS mounted directory, or a symbolic link to another file system. You must ensure the backup directory is configured the same way during any patch removal operations. Your current setup of "//var/adm/patch/backup" is: * A plain directory (not a mount point or a symbolic link) Do you want to proceed with the installation with this setup?

It is an enabler and need only be used to baseline your system for routine use of setld-based patch kits. It is recommended that you read the release notes accompanying this kit, prior to continuing. It is specifically designed to provide continuity from an environment with manually installed operating system patches to one that can be managed using the standard 'setld' installation technology. This baselining is broken into phases that assess and report the state of your operating system files. It will only make changes to your system with your confirmation. Phase 1 - System Evaluation Where possible, this phase determines the origin of changed operating system files and detects formally released official patches that were ---------------------------------------- Press <RETURN> to continue viewing: ---------------------------------------- manually installed. Phase 2 - Report patches with inter-product inventory conflicts Some layered products ship operating system files or files delivered by other layered products. If you have any of these layered products installed on your system and the patch kit happens to contain those files with inventory conflicts, the Patch Utility will block the installation of the patches containing inventory conflicts since it may corrupt the layered product operation. Phase 3 - Create installation records for manually-installed patches During this phase, you will be shown a list of patches that match the files on your system, but are not marked as 'installed'. You will be offered an opportunity to mark these patches as 'installed'. This involves copying valid 'setld' database information to your system. Phase 4 - Report changed system files This phase provides information to help you make choices later in this process. It reports both 'missing' and files whose origin cannot be determined. Some of these files may affect patch installation. You will want to consider this information when you later make decisions in phase 5. Phase 5 - Enable patches with file applicability conflicts This phase allows you to enable subsequent installation of patches whose inventory does not match the installed system. This occurs when: 1) System files changed and the origin of that change cannot be determined, or 2) The changed files can only be traced back to previous manual patches, or 3) The original file to be patched is missing from the system, or 4) Hard links to files about to be patched are broken It is recommended that you do not enable the installation of these patches, if any, until you have tracked down the origin of the files that are in conflict, or you may compromise the integrity of your operating system. ---------------------------------------- Press <RETURN> to continue viewing: ---------------------------------------- To assist you in this effort, the file list for the entire patch with the known information will be displayed. You may run through this phase to get the analysis without enabling the installation of any of the listed patches. It is recommended that you backup your operating system prior to the actual patch installation. Do you want to proceed with the analysis and adjustment?

The amount of time needed to complete this phase can vary greatly depending on the size of the patch kit, the version of the Operating System, and the performance of the system. * system evaluation completed. --------------------------- Press RETURN to proceed to the next phase... Phase 2 - Report patches with inter-product inventory conflicts =============================================================== Some layered products replace files delivered in the original Operating System inventory or other layered products' inventory. The Patch Utility will block installation of those patches with inventory conflicts since they could compromise the integrity of the layered products. * no inter-product inventory conflicts detected. --------------------------------------------- Press RETURN to proceed to the next phase... Phase 3 - Create installation records for manually installed patches ==================================================================== You can choose to copy valid installation records to your system for the following patches, if any. This will allow future management and reporting for patches to your operating system. Creating installation records is intended to establish a baseline to which future patches might be applied. Future patch removal may only ever occur to this baseline. * no manually installed patches detected. -------------------------------------- Press RETURN to proceed to the next phase... Phase 4 - Report changed system files and missing files ======================================================= This phase provides information to help you make choices later in this process. It reports both 'missing' and files whose origin cannot be determined. Some of these files may affect patch installation. You will want to consider this information when you later make decisions in phase 5. * no changed files detected ------------------------- Press RETURN to proceed to the next phase... Phase 5 - Enable patches with file applicability conflicts ========================================================== You will be shown a list of patches, if any, and their files. Patches show up during this phase when: 1) System files changed and the origin of that change cannot be determined, or 2) The changed files can only be traced back to previous manual patches, or 3) The file to be patched is missing from the system, or 4) Hard links to files about to be patched are broken After reviewing this section, you can elect to enable the installation of these patches using a standard selection menu. Enabling a patch means that the checks for patch file applicability, done during patch installation, will be bypassed if you later choose to install that patch through the installation section of dupatch. It is recommended that you understand the origin of the listed files before enabling a patch for installation. * no patches with file applicability conflicts detected. ----------------------------------------------------- * Baseline Analysis/Adjustment process completed. ============================================== Press RETURN to get back to the Main Menu...
