b. Change directories by using the cd command. For example:
/G/SYSTEM/STARTUP: cd /usr/share/man
c. Run the merge_whatis command:
/usr/share/man: merge_whatis
d. Enter the list (ls) command:
/usr/share/man: ls
cat1 cat4 cat7 whatis.frag
cat2 cat5 cat8 whatis_old
cat3 cat6 whatis
/usr/share/man:
After you run merge_whatis, the directory contains a file named whatis,
containing the database. If you have previously installed OSS, a file named
whatis_old is present, containing the previous version of the database.
5. If necessary, you can compare the creation dates of the whatis file to the
whatis_old file to see if changes occurred:
a. Run the more command against the whatis file:
more /usr/share/man/whatis
b. After reviewing the displayed file, exit by entering the letter q at the percentage
(%) prompt.
c. Repeat Steps a. and b. for the whatis_old file.

1. Review the log file.
2. If ZPHIRNM did not run successfully, correct whatever problems occurred and run
it again.
Two types of error and warning messages are issued during the renaming process:
•
If a fatal error occurs, ZPHIRNM immediately issues an error message and
stops.
•
If a nonfatal error occurs, ZPHIRNM issues an error message and attempts to
restore the subvolume it is currently processing to its original state. A nonfatal
error is one that affects processing only for a single subvolume.
°
If the subvolume is successfully restored, ZPHIRNM continues with the
next subvolume.
°
If the subvolume cannot be restored, ZPHIRNM issues an additional error
message and continues with the next subvolume.
