20 DESCRIPTION
21 Install is a utility which simplifies the process of installing a 5.0
22 system. Install goes into a built ON workspace (or any kernel source
23 tree), looks at the Makefiles, and figures out how to construct the
24 /kernel and /usr/kernel directories. It then creates a tarfile (see
25 tar(1)) containing /kernel, /usr/kernel, and a few related /etc files.
26 If a target ([user@]machine:/dir) is specified, the tarfile is either
27 copied to machine:/dir (-T) or untarred on machine in /dir (-t), using
28 the remote user id user, if specified. With no options, Install
29 creates a sun4c system from files in the current workspace (as
30 indicated by $SRC) and places the tarfile in
31 /tmp/Install.username/Install.sun4c.tar.
32
33
34 OPTIONS
35 -w ws Install the system built in the ON workspace ws. ws
36 must be a built ON workspace -- Install will not
37 automatically invoke make(1). If -w is not
38 specified, Install uses the current workspace (as
39 indicated by $CODEMGR_WS). If there is no current
40 workspace, Install checks to see if you are in an
41 appropriate source directory, e.g. uts/sun4c; if
42 so, Install takes files from there. Otherwise,
43 Install looks for files under $SRC/uts.
44
45 -s source directory where to look for files [default: $SRC/uts].
46
47 -k kernel arch the type of kernel to install. The default is
48 sun4c; however, if you invoke Install from
49 $SRC/uts/sun4z, Install assumes you want a sun4z
50 kernel.
51
52 -n No target; just create the tarfile in
53 /tmp/Install.username/Install.sun4c.tar [default].
54 -n implies -p.
55
56 -t target Install the system on target ([user@]machine:/dir).
57 This means that kernel/unix is copied to
58 machine:/dir/kernel/unix, etc. /dir is typically
59 either / or /mnt. -t implies -c. The default
60 remote user id is the same as the local one
61 ($LOGNAME).
62
63 -T target Copy the tarfile to target ([user@]machine:/dir).
64 This creates the file /dir/Install.tar on machine.
65 To finish the install, log on to machine as root,
66 and type ``cd /; tar xvf /dir/Install.tar''. -T
67 implies -c.
68
69 -u Install unix only.
70
71 -m Install modules only.
72
73 -a Install unix and all modules [default].
74
75 -v Verbose mode.
76
77 -V REALLY verbose mode. Useful mainly for debugging.
78
79 -q Quiet mode [default]. Only fatal messages are
80 printed.
81
82 -c Clean up. After a successful install, delete the
83 files created in /tmp/Install.username. This is
84 the default behavior if a target is specified with
85 -t or -T.
86
87 -p Preserve temp files. This is the default behavior
88 when no target is specified (-n).
89
90 -R Recover from a failed Install. This is not
91 required, it's just faster than restarting. A
92 typical scenario is for Install to run smoothly
93 right up to the very end, but then die with
94 "Permission denied" when it tries to rsh/rcp to the
95 target machine. At this point, you log on to the
96 target machine, diddle the permissions, log off,
97 and type ``Install -R''. Install will only have to
98 retry the rsh/rcp, rather than rebuild the tarfile
99 from scratch.
100
101 -d temp directory specifies where Install should create its temp
102 files [default: /tmp/Install.username]. This is
103 useful if you have limited space in /tmp (Install
104 can take as much as 100MB). The suffix
105 "Install.username" is always appended.
106
107 -L add a system to your library. This allows you to
108 build a personal collection of installable systems
109 from various environments and for various
110 architectures. When you type ``Install -w
111 /ws/ws_name -k arch -L'', Install creates a tarfile
112 called ws_name.arch.tar in your library directory
113 (~/LibInstall by default). -L implies -c.
114
115 -l library file Installs the system contained in library file. You
116 may omit the ``.tar'' suffix. For example,
117 ``Install -l my_ws.sun4c -t machine:/'' installs a
118 system you previously built with -L (from sun4c
119 files in my_ws) on machine:/. This is equivalent
120 to typing ``rsh machine '(cd /; tar xvf -)'
121 <~/LibInstall/my_ws.sun4c.tar'', but it's easier to
122 remember.
123
124 -D lib directory specifies the library directory [default:
125 $HOME/LibInstall].
126
127 -G glomname gloms /kernel and /usr/kernel together into a
128 single /kernel directory. Useful for development
129 work, e.g. use "Install -G good [...]" to create a
130 "/kernel.good".
131
132 -o { obj | debug } object directory. The default is "debug".
133
134 -3 32-bit modules only
135
136 -6 64-bit modules only
137
138 -K Do not include kmdb misc module or dmods
139
140 -h Help. Prints a brief summary of Install's options.
141
142 If you are in a directory like $SRC/uts/sun4z when you invoke Install,
143 it will infer that you want to install a sun4z system from the current
144 workspace.
145
146 If you supply a list of modules, it overrides any of the -uma options.
147 You only need to specify the basename of the module(s), e.g. ``Install
148 ufs nfs le''. ``Install unix'' is equivalent to ``Install -u'', and
149 ``Install modules'' is equivalent to ``Install -m''.
150
151 You can customize Install by creating a .Installrc file in your home
152 directory. .Installrc should consist of a list of command-line-style
153 options, e.g:
154
155 -w /ws/foo
156 -t labmachine:/mnt -pv
157
158 Install processes default options first, then .Installrc options, then
159 command-line options. In the case of conflicting options (e.g. -uma),
160 the last one wins.
161
162 In order to use the most convenient form of Install (``Install -t
163 machine:/''), you will need to do the following on the target machine:
164
165 (1) add your machine name to the /etc/hosts.equiv file
166 (2) add your username to the /etc/{passwd,shadow} files
167 (3) chown -R yourself /kernel /usr/kernel
168 (4) chmod -R u+w /kernel /usr/kernel
169
170 ENVIRONMENT
171 You can set the following variables in your environment:
172
173 INSTALL_RC [default: $HOME/.Installrc]
174
175 file containing default options for Install
176
177 INSTALL_STATE [default: $HOME/.Install.state]
178
179 where Install keeps its state information
180
181 INSTALL_DIR [default: /tmp/Install.username]
182
183 where Install does its work. This can be overridden on the
184 command line with -d.
185
186 INSTALL_LIB [default: $HOME/LibInstall]
187
188 where Install gets/puts library files. This can be overridden
189 on the command line with -D.
190
191 INSTALL_CP [default: cp -p]
192
193 the command to copy files locally
194
195 INSTALL_RCP [default: rcp -p]
196
197 the command to copy files remotely
198
199 EXAMPLES
200 Install -w /ws/blort -t machine:/
201
202 installs the system built in workspace /ws/blort on machine:/
203
204 Install -w /ws/blort -T machine:/tmp
205 rsh machine -l root "cd /; tar xvf /tmp/Install.tar"
206
207 is an equivalent way to do the previous example
208
209 Install
210
211 makes a tarfile containing a sun4c kernel, and places it in
212 /tmp/Install.username/Install.sun4c.tar. However, if you are in
213 one of the arch directories (e.g. $SRC/uts/sun4m) when you
214 invoke Install, you will get a tarfile for that architecture
215 instead.
216
217 Install -k sun4m -w /ws/on493 -t mpbox:/ ufs
218
219 installs a new sun4m ufs module from workspace /ws/on493 on
220 mpbox:/
221
222 FILES
223 $HOME/.Installrc, $HOME/.Install.state

225 SEE ALSO
226 tar(1), rsh(1), rcp(1)
227
228 BUGS
229 tar(1) and rsh(1) do not have particularly useful exit codes. To
230 compensate, Install feeds stderr through grep -v and throws away error
231 messages which it considers harmless. If there's anything left,
232 Install assumes it is fatal. It's a hack, but it works.
