Task 3: Renaming Your Log Files
To make it easier to look for problems encountered during an update,
rename the log files before starting an update:
1. cd /var/adm/sw
2. As root, rename each log file. For example:
mv swagent.log swagent_old.log
Task 4: Backing Up Your System
Back up your system before performing an update, and again after the
update is complete. If a problem occurs, you can easily restore the system
to its original state. See “Backing Up Your System” on page 78 for more
information.
Task 5: Locating Source Media and Codewords
Locate the source media needed for the update. See “Locating Source
Media and Codewords” on page 82 for instructions.
