If you are using patch tar files obtained via the
Internet (see “Patch Process Resources”), you must expand the
tar file to access the patch kits. The tar file can be expanded on
any mountable file system. The following list describes procedure:
Mount the
file system and create a directory.
# /usr/sbin/mount /dev/disk/dsk3g /patches
# cd /patches
# mkdir pk5 |
Copy or ftp the patch kit to the directory you
created. For example:
# cp T64V51BB26AS0005-20050215.tar /patches/pk5 |
Untar the patch kit, capturing
the process to a log file. For example:
# script untar.log
# tar -xpvf /patches/pk5/T64V51BB26AS0005-20050215.tar
# Ctrl/d |
View the untar.log for errors or failures untarring the file.
