6.4 Recommended/Required Patches
April 1, 1998
This CD-ROM contains patches from the WorldWide Customer Support
Recommended/Required list of April 1, 1998. These patches are being provided to
enhance system reliability and stability.
**You should install these patches as a set.
**These patches are organized according to operating system/platform.
**Please install all patches applicable to your platform.
**Please do not selectively install individual patches from this CD-ROM.
**Please read the CAVEATS at the bottom of this file for important
notes about the patch sets.
**Please read the relnotes for any patches before installing them.
The following patch sets are available on this CD:
6.4_MIPSpro_7.1_Compilers
6.4_MIPSpro_7.2_Compilers
6.4_OCTANE
6.4_Origin200_Origin2000_Onyx2
6.4_POSIX
------------------
Inst instructions:
------------------
As root enter the following (assuming the CD-ROM is mounted on /CDROM):
# inst -f /CDROM/dist/<patch_set>/
where <patch_set> is the appropriate platform and operating system
combination for your system from the list above
(e.g. inst -f /CDROM/dist/6.4_OCTANE/).
To view the list of patches and run the script to help select patches
for installation, type:
# inst> list
Inst will then display a description of an optional script designed
to select the appropriate patches for installation. Execute the
optional installation startup script by typing 1.
Resolve any conflicts using the "conflicts" command and begin the
installation:
# inst> go
-----------------------------------------
Special Note for Origin & Onyx2 Customers:
-----------------------------------------
If your system is an Origin2000, Origin200 or Onyx2, you can determine
which patch set to use above by running the command:
# uname -R
If the output from the command is the following:
6.4 S2MP
then you are running IRIX 6.4 for Origin200, Origin2000, and Onyx2IR, and
none of these patch sets apply to your release of software.
If the output from the command is the following:
6.4 S2MP+OCTANE
then you are running IRIX 6.4 for Origin, Onyx2, and OCTANE and
should use the distribution directory of
6.4_Origin200_Origin2000_Onyx2
If the output is neither "6.4 S2MP" nor "6.4 S2MP+OCTANE" then these
patch sets do not apply to your Origin or Onyx2 system. Contact your
local support provider for further assistance.

-----------------------------------------
Users who take advantage of large page sizes for application test should
install the April 1998 patch set to avoid system crashes.

-----------------------------------------
The appropriate recommended/required patch set for the target platform
must also be installed along with these patches for POSIX
compliance.
