Installing a service pack or patch

To install a service pack or patch:

1. If necessary, log in as root.
2. At the command prompt, enter cd /export/patch to change to the directory containing the current service pack package (in compressed form).
3. Enter stop_vs to stop the voice system.
4. Enter uncompress sp_package.ds.Z where sp_package.ds.Z is the name of the compressed service pack file in the /export/patch directory.

   The service pack uncompresses in the current directory.

5. Enter pkgadd -d ./sp_package.ds sp_package where sp_package.ds is the name of the uncompressed service pack package and sp_package is the name of the service pack you want to install.

   For example, to install service pack AV1-2qp, enter pkgadd -d ./AV1-2qp.ds

   The package installation starts. The system displays various messages. In some cases, the message mentions conflicting files. These conflicting files are the files that will be updated by the service pack. Confirm these messages by entering y (for yes).

   Note:
   If you do not answer yes to the package installation messages, the process exits and the package is not installed.

   After a short time, the system displays the following message:

   This package contains scripts which will be executed with super-user permission during the process of installing this package.
Do you want to continue with the installation of <AV1-2qp> [y,n,?]

6. Enter y (for yes).

   Note:
   Do not be alarmed by statement regarding super-user permission. The message means that the script will use the highest level of permission on the system to install the various portions of the service pack.

   The system continues installing the service pack. After a short time, it displays a message indicating that the installation is complete. You must reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

7. Enter shutdown -y -i6 -g0 to reboot your system.
