Replacing an Unusable Version of SD-UX
If the version of SD-UX on the target system is unusable, you must first
load install-sd and the swagent.Z file onto your system into /var/tmp,
then use install-sd to re-install SW-DIST. The install-sd utility ships in
the catalog/SW-DIST/pfiles directory.
Use cp (if you are copying from a local CD-ROM) or rcp (if you are
copying from a software depot on a remote system) to load install-sd onto
your system.
For example, to load install-sd from a local CD-ROM mounted at
/SD_CDROM into /var/tmp:
Step 1. Copy install-sd onto your system from the CD-ROM:
cp /SD_CDROM/catalog/SW-DIST/pfiles/ \
install-sd /var/tmp
Step 2. Copy the swagent.Z file from the CD-ROM:
cp /SD_CDROM/catalog/SW-DIST/pfiles/ \
swagent.Z /var/tmp
Step 3. Make install-sd executable:
chmod +x /var/tmp/install-sd
Step 4. Execute install-sd:
/var/tmp/install-sd -s /SD_CDROM
The SW-DIST product then installs itself onto your system from the
CD-ROM.
