Loading the analysis tools and documentation files onto your 9.x system will not alter your system, but you will need sufficient disk space. The following table shows approximate sizes of the filesets in the tools package, which is labelled "Upgrade Tools". /etc/update will show you the exact sizes of the filesets.

  1. These filesets include not only the tools you will need to do the pre-upgrade tasks described in this chapter, but also the tools for the upgrade itself.

  2. Load all of the filesets. Load the tools onto a disk on the system that is to be upgraded; the upgrade will not work if the tools are NFS-mounted.

  3. The majority of the space needed by the tools (about 27Mb) is under /usr.

The following table shows the names of the online documents that were shipped in the "Upgrade Tools" package, and the filename, size, and format of each. All the files will be installed into /etc/newconfig/10RelNotes on a 9.x system. These documents were not shipped to you in hard copy; to get a hard copy, use the retrieval and printing instructions that follow the table.

To load the tools and online documents from the "Upgrade Tools" package onto a 9.x system, do the following:

  1. Put the "Upgrade Tools" tape or CDROM into the drive.

  2. Log into your 9.x system as root.

  3. Run /etc/update.

  4. Choose Select All Filesets on the Source Media.

  5. After all of the files are loaded, remove the tape or CDROM from the drive and store it in a safe place.

To retrieve the online documents from tape before you load the tools, do the following:

  1. Write-protect the tape according to its documentation.

  2. Insert the tape into the drive.

  3. cd to the root directory.

  4. Load the documents onto your system:

    tar -xvf /dev/rmt/0m UPG-DOC

    or run /etc/update and load the UPG-DOC fileset.

  5. cd to the /etc/newconfig/10RelNotes directory, which contains the release notes and white paper files.

  6. To print the documents, use the lp command (and the -ops option if you are printing filesys.ps or NFSD_Concepts_Admin.ps).

To load the tools from a CDROM onto a 9.x system: Use /etc/update to load the UPG-DOC fileset.
