Patches are not installed by default since it is unknown
which patches address the problems you have encountered.
After reading the release notes describing the bugs fixed,
determine the set of patches which meet your specific needs.
Patches are installed like any other Silicon Graphics
product. Use your Owner's Guide and/or Software
Installation Guide to bring up the "miniroot" form of the
software installation tools. To select a patch for
installation type:
Inst> install patchSGxxxxxxx
where "xxxxxxx" is the patch number. After selecting the
desired patches for installation, type "go" to initiate the
installation sequence.
Inst> go
After completion of the installation process, type "quit" to
- 2 -
quit from inst.
Inst> quit
You may find that two patches have been marked as
incompatible. If this occurs, you must unselect one of the
patches.
Inst> keep patchSGxxxxxxx
Ultimately you may decide after installing a patch that you
no longer want it. To remove a patch use "versions remove"
as you would any other software subsystem. The removal
process will reinstate the original version of software
unless you have purposefully removed the patch history from
your system.
versions remove patchSGxxxxxxx
If you are confident that you will not need to remove a
particular patch and wish to regain the disk space, use
"versions removehist" to remove the patch history.
versions removehist patchSGxxxxxxx
