.TH SUNINSTALL 8 "13 January 1990"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
suninstall \- install and upgrade the SunOS operating system
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B /usr/etc/install/suninstall
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.IX "suninstall command" "" "\fLsuninstall\fP command"
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B suninstall
|
|
is a forms-based subsystem for installing and upgrading the SunOS
|
|
operating system.
|
|
Unlike previous installation subsystems,
|
|
.B suninstall
|
|
does not require recapitulation of an interrupted
|
|
procedure; you can pick up where you left off.
|
|
A new invocation of
|
|
.B suninstall
|
|
displays the saved information and offers the user an opportunity
|
|
to make any needed alterations before it proceeds.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Note:
|
|
.B suninstall
|
|
only exists in the mini-root
|
|
and should only be invoked from
|
|
there (see
|
|
.TX INSTALL ).
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B suninstall
|
|
allows installation of the operating system onto any system
|
|
configuration, be it standalone, dataless, a homogeneous file server,
|
|
or a heterogeneous server. It installs
|
|
the various versions of the
|
|
operating system needed by clients on a heterogeneous file
|
|
server, from any Sun distribution media format.
|
|
The number of different system versions
|
|
that can be installed is only limited to the
|
|
disk space available.
|
|
.LP
|
|
After the
|
|
initial installation, the suninstall utility program
|
|
.BR add_client (8)
|
|
adds clients while the server
|
|
is running in multiuser mode.
|
|
The suninstall
|
|
.BR add_services (8)
|
|
program converts a standalone system or server into a
|
|
heterogeneous file server, without rebooting, while the system
|
|
is running in multiuser mode.
|
|
To remove a diskless client, use the suninstall
|
|
.BR rm_client (8)
|
|
program in multiuser mode.
|
|
.LP
|
|
To abort the installation procedure, use the interrupt
|
|
character (typically
|
|
.SM CTRL-C\s0).
|
|
