Requirements for Installing System V and WLS from V5.1B-2 APCDs
(Sept. 2004) |
 |
If you plan to install the Extended
System V Functionalityand the Tru64 UNIX Worldwide
Language Support packages from the Version 5.1B-2 Associated
Products CDs, you must install them in the order described in the
following procedure:
Install the Tru64 UNIX Worldwide Language Support
package from Associated Products disk Volume 1.
Install the Extended System V Functionality package
from Associated Products disk Volume 2.
Copy the following files:
# cp /usr/i18n/lib/nls/loc/iconvTable/* /usr/lib/nls/loc/iconvTable |
LSM Merge Problem During Update Installation on a Standalone
System with Mirrored Root File System (May 2004) |
|
During an update installation, the installupdate command does not merge the LSM entries into /etc/inittab, thereby preventing LSM from automatically starting up on a system
reboot until later in the boot process when /sbin/bcheckrc is run.
In most cases, this does not cause a problem and
is easily fixed by running the /usr/sbin/volinstall command, which updates the /etc/inittab file
with the LSM entries.
However, if the root file system is mirrored (for
example via volencap and volrootmir) and LSM does not start until multiuser mode (via bcheckrc), the system may write to only one of the root file system mirrors,
causing the other mirrored plex (the one not associated with the boot
disk) to contain inconsistent data.
To avoid this, remove the mirrored plex not associated
with the boot disk before performing the update installation. After
the installation is completed, run /usr/sbin/volinstall to update the /etc/inittab file with the missing
LSM entries and run /usr/sbin/volrootmir if you
want to mirror the root file system again.
The following steps show how to accomplish this.
In the examples, the boot disk is dsk6 and the
mirrored disk is dsk5:
Before running the installupdate command, do the following:
Check to see if the boot disk is mirrored, for example rootvol-01 and rootvol-02:
# /sbin/volprint -g rootdg |
If root file system is mirrored, remove the second
plexes associated with the boot disk to avoid the system writing to
only one of the root plexes during the installation.
# /sbin/volplex -o rm dis rootvol-02 swapvol-02 vol-dsk6g-02 |
Remove associated disks from LSM control. This is
necessary if the root file system is to be mirrored again to this
disk:
# /sbin/voldg rmdisk root02 swap02 dsk5g-AdvFS dsk5e |
# /sbin/voldisk rm dsk5a dsk5b dsk5g dsk5e |
Run the update installation. For example:
# /sbin/installupdate /dev/disk/cdrom0c |
When the installation is completed, do the following:
Add LSM entries into the /etc/inittab file to allow LSM to start automatically on system boot.
If you want to mirror the root file system, you can
do so now:
# /usr/sbin/volrootmir dsk5 |
Problem Using scu Commands and the UNIX Shell During Installation
(Feb. 2003) |
|
During an installation, scu commands issued through the UNIX shell may cause the X window and
the installation script to restart.
To work around this problem, disable paging of
output information to the X window when you first start the scu utility:
Invalid Tape Subclass Errors Occur When You Update Install
from Version 5.1A and Patch Kit 4 (Feb. 2003) |
|
When you update install from a system running
Version 5.1A with Patch Kit 4 installed to Version 5.1B, the /sbin/ddr_config utility reports an Invalid Tape Subclass
error. As a result of this error, a new /etc/ddr.db is not produced and any customizations to /etc/ddr.dbase will not be in effect.
This problem can be resolved by performing one
of the following tasks:
Manually edit /etc/ddr.dbase and
remove the entry that defines the "Ultrium" tape drive (see ddr.dbase(4) and ddr_config(8))
This problem was corrected in the Version 5.1B patch
kits, beginning with Patch Kit 1.
