*** Installation Warning ***
You have chosen to install the patch kit onto this system while it is
running in Multi-User mode. Some patches may directly affect core operating
system operations. To ensure the proper operation of all applications, it is
strongly suggested that you install these patches while the system is in
Single-User mode. If this cannot be done, install these patches when the
system is as lightly loaded as possible (i.e. not running production
environments, no users logged on, etc.).
Do you wish to continue? (y/n) [y]:
Common Installation Steps
The following steps provide instructions for continuing the installation of Tru64 UNIX and
TruCluster software patches after you have selected either single-user or multi-user mode.
1. Specify whether or not you accept the license agreement. You can read the license on screen
or you can read the license before beginning the installation process in the Patch Summary
and Release Notes that comes with the patch kit. In the following output, the license is removed
to save space:
Tru64 Unix License Agreement
** ... **
To read the license again, type 'license'.
Do you accept the license agreement? (y/n) : y
Checking patch kit for transmission errors during download...
Finished Checking patch kit checksums
2. You have the option to make patches reversible so you can return the system to its state
prior to the installation of a patch. Enter y or press Return to make the patches reversible.
For example:
Do you want the patches to be reversible? [y]:
By default, backup copies of the installed patches are saved in /var/adm/patch/backup.
If you have limited space in /var, you may want to make the backup directory the mount
point for a separate disk partition, an NFS-mounted directory, or a symbolic link to another
file system.
If you answer no to this question, the existing system files will not be saved and the installed
patches will not be reversible. HP recommends that you install patches so they are reversible.
3. The program describes your backup setup and asks you if you want to proceed:
Do you want to proceed with the installation with this setup? [y]:
