- 2. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_s_t_r_u_c_t_i_o_n_s
-
- This chapter contains instructions for installing patches
- from local CD-ROM only. If you will be installing from a
- remote CD-ROM, or from a distribution directory, or you need
- more information than is provided here, please refer to the
- _I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e.
-
- Because you want to install patches for only those problems
- you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
- default. Please refer to the descriptions of the individual
- patches to determine which patches meet your specific needs.
-
- To view the release notes on the CD-ROM, type:
-
- % /CDROM/CDgrelnotes (on a graphics terminal)
-
- or
-
- % /CDROM/CDrelnotes (on an ASCII terminal)
-
-
- 2.1 _P_a_t_c_h__R_e_l_e_a_s_e_s
-
- Bug fixes and support for new hardware are sometimes
- released without re-releasing all of the files in a catalog
- item. Instead, a Patch Release is created. Subsystems in
- Patch Releases have names that are similar to the subsystem
- names from Software Product Release, but each product name
- begins with the word patchSG<_p_a_t_c_h__n_u_m_b_e_r>. Patch Releases
- have these characteristics:
-
- +o Patch Releases apply to particular Software Product
- Releases.
-
- +o Product names for Patch Releases always begin with
- "patchSG<_p_a_t_c_h__n_u_m_b_e_r>". Image names are created by
- taking original product names and image names and
- joining them with a dot (.). Subsystem names remain the
- same. For example, files from eoe1.sw.unix that are put
- into a Patch Release are put in a subsystem named
- patchSG<_p_a_t_c_h__n_u_m_b_e_r>.eoe1_sw.unix.
-
- +o Patch Releases are sometimes hardware specific. This
- means that they contain files for a subset of Silicon
- Graphics workstation configurations rather than
- containing files for all workstation configurations.

- +o The _R_e_l_e_a_s_e _N_o_t_e_s for the _I_R_I_X _P_a_t_c_h_e_s _1_2/_9_5 CD-ROM can
- be viewed on-line before you install any subsystems.
- Instructions for viewing these _R_e_l_e_a_s_e _N_o_t_e_s appear in
- the pamphlet in the CD's jewel case. In addition, the
- _R_e_l_e_a_s_e _N_o_t_e_s for the _I_R_I_X _P_a_t_c_h_e_s _1_2/_9_5 CD-ROM will be
- installed by default in the directory
- /_u_s_r/_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s/_P_a_t_c_h_n_o_t_e_s.
-
- 2.2 _M_a_n_d_a_t_o_r_y__I_m_a_g_e_s__T_h_a_t__M_u_s_t__B_e__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_e_d
-
- When installing patches, it is important to note that not
- all of the patches live in the standard _d_i_s_t directory. In
- fact, only the _P_a_t_c_h_n_o_t_e_s images, the images that contain
- these release notes live in this directory.
-
- It is _I_M_P_E_R_A_T_I_V_E that the Patchnotes images be installed
- from the _I_R_I_X _P_a_t_c_h_e_s _1_2/_9_5 CD-ROM whenever patches are
- installed on a specific system for the first time. The
- following commands can be used:
-
- Inst> _f_r_o_m /_C_D_R_O_M/_d_i_s_t
- Inst> _i_n_s_t_a_l_l *
- Inst> _g_o
-
- to install the mandatory images.
-
- 2.3 _R_e_v_i_s_e_d__(_n_o_n_-_s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d_)__D_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y__S_t_r_u_c_t_u_r_e
-
- The layout of the _I_R_I_X _P_a_t_c_h_e_s _1_2/_9_5 CD-ROM is as follows:
-
- _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s contains the release notes of all images
- _d_i_s_t contains the two mandatory images
- _5._3__p_a_t_c_h_e_s contains subdirectories for each IRIX 5.3 patch image
- _6._0._1__p_a_t_c_h_e_s contains subdirectories for each IRIX 6.0.1 patch image
- _6._1__p_a_t_c_h_e_s contains subdirectories for each IRIX 6.1 patch image
-
- This means that the usual _f_r_o_m /_C_D_R_O_M/_d_i_s_t inst command will
- only show the _P_a_t_c_h_n_o_t_e_s image. The directory location of
- all the patch images is
- /_C_D_R_O_M/_X_X_X__p_a_t_c_h_e_s/_p_a_t_c_h_S_G<_p_a_t_c_h__n_u_m_b_e_r>, where
- <_p_a_t_c_h__n_u_m_b_e_r> is the seven digit patch number and _X_X_X is
- the OS version.

- For example, if you have looked through the patch release
- notes and have decided to install _p_a_t_c_h_S_G_0_0_0_0_7_0_3, you would
- type the following commands at the inst prompt:
-
- # inst
- Inst> _f_r_o_m /_C_D_R_O_M/_d_i_s_t
- Inst> _i_n_s_t_a_l_l *
- Inst> _g_o
- Inst> _f_r_o_m /_C_D_R_O_M/_5._3__p_a_t_c_h_e_s/_p_a_t_c_h_S_G_0_0_0_0_7_0_3
- Inst> _i_n_s_t_a_l_l _p_a_t_c_h_S_G_0_0_0_0_7_1_1
-
- These commands will install the mandatory _P_a_t_c_h_e_s_n_o_t_e_s image
- as well as the _p_a_t_c_h_S_G_0_0_0_0_7_1_1 images.
-
- 2.4 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__f_r_o_m__L_o_c_a_l__C_D_-_R_O_M
-
- Since there are no miniroot tools in /_C_D_R_O_M/_d_i_s_t, the
- example in section 2.3 should be used as a guide. For those
- IRIX 5.3 and IRIX 6.0.1 patches requiring a miniroot
- installation, normal distribution media can be used.
-
- 2.5 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__f_r_o_m__R_e_m_o_t_e__C_D_-_R_O_M
-
- Please note that the _I_R_I_X _P_a_t_c_h_e_s _1_2/_9_5 _C_D-_R_O_M does contain
- miniroot installation tools for IRIX 5.3 (patch 705). When
- using this CD-ROM over the network, it will be necessary to
- specify something other than the /_C_D_R_O_M/_d_i_s_t directory. For
- example, to boot a machine that is running IRIX 5.3, the
- location of the miniroot installation tools will be
- /_C_D_R_O_M/_5._3__p_a_t_c_h_e_s/_p_a_t_c_h_7_0_5 instead of /_C_D_R_O_M/_d_i_s_t.
-
- 2.6 _G_e_t_t_i_n_g__t_h_e__C_P_U__T_y_p_e__o_f__a__W_o_r_k_s_t_a_t_i_o_n
-
- These commands can be used to find out the CPU type (<_c_p_u>)
- of a workstation:
-
- +o _u_n_a_m_e(_1)
-
- This command prints the CPU type of the workstation:
-
- % /bin/uname -m
-
- +o _h_i_n_v(_1_M)
-
- This command prints information about your processor:
-
- % /bin/hinv -c processor
-
- The CPU type is in the first line of output. It is IP4,
- IP5, IP6, IP7, IP9, IP12, IP17, IP19, IP20, IP22, or
- R2300.

-
- - 4 -
-
-
-
- +o _h_i_n_v from the Command Monitor
-
- Give this command in the Command Monitor:
-
- >> hinv
-
- The first line of output contains the CPU type, which
- is IP4, IP5, IP6, IP7, IP9, IP12, IP15, IP17, IP19,
- IP20, or IP22. Some examples are:
-
- CPU board: 1 IP7 33 MHZ
- System: IP22
-
- If the CPU type shown by _h_i_n_v is IP15, your CPU type is
- actually IP7. If you got an error message from this
- command, _h_i_n_v is not available in the PROMs on your
- workstation. In this case your CPU type is probably
- IP4.

-
- Some installation procedures described in Section 2.2,
- "Miniroot Installation from Local CD-ROM", require you to
- specify the controller, (<_c_n_t_l_r>) and unit (<_u_n_i_t>) numbers
- for tape drives or CD-ROM drives. This section explains how
- to use _h_i_n_v to get these numbers.
-
- There are two versions of the hinv command:
-
- +o IRIX _h_i_n_v
-
- From IRIX, give this _h_i_n_v command:
-
- % /bin/hinv
-
- The output you get will look similar to Figure 2-2. The
- <_u_n_i_t> and <_c_n_t_l_r> numbers are shown on the "CDROM"
- line.

- +o PROM Monitor _h_i_n_v
-
- From the Command Monitor, give this _h_i_n_v command:
-
- >> hinv
-
- The output you see is similar to the example in Figure
- 2-3 (an error message from this command means that _h_i_n_v
- is not available in the PROMs on your workstation). The
- <_c_n_t_l_r> is the first number in parenthesis and the
- <_u_n_i_t> is the second. In this example, the CD-ROM
- <_c_n_t_l_r> is 0 and the <_u_n_i_t> is 4. The tape drive
- controller is 0 and the unit is 2.
