inuconfig
PURPOSE
Recovers errors for installation/update tools.
SYNTAX
/etc/lpp/inuconfig ---|
DESCRIPTION
The inuconfig command is the error-recovery utility for the installation and
update tools (installp and updatep).
As the service tools proceed, they log their actions in a file:
/etc/lpp/config.log
If all goes well, this file is removed upon completion of the service. When a
detectable error occurs (or the system crashes), this file remains and is used
by the error-recovery tool inuconfig to set the system back to before the
service command was run. The command can be run again, after the error
condition (for example the root file system is full) is eliminated. The log
file contains entries as shown below. Each entry indicates a certain step in
the progress of service tools, and each requires a specific action by
error-recovery to undo.
The entries are as follows:
00 flag Where flag is a (apply), r (reject), c (commit), or u (uncommit).
Put in by installp or inudatep. Error-recovery will note
the flag and report it to the user.
01 Global history file was backed up by the service tool. Error
recovery recovers the global history file.
02 lpp_name
Where lpp_name is the LPP being processed as specified by installp
and inudatep. Individual history file will be backed-up, and
error-recovery will recover lpp.hist. In cases where flag is a or
ac, files in /usr/lpp/ lpp_name save are recovered by calling
/etc/inurecv.
03 queue#
Where queue# is the queue entry being processed as specified by
/etc/lpp/qapp.b. Error-recovery will remove entry number queue# -1.

If there are more than one such entries, the queue pointer will be
set to the lowest possible value.
04 frame#
Where frame# is the stack frame being processed. Put in by
/etc/lpp/rest. Error-recovery will remove /usr/sys/inst_updt.*, then
set stack pointer to frame#. If there are more than one such
entries, the stack pointer will be set to the highest possible value.
05 frame#
Where frame# is the stack frame being processed. Put in by
/etc/lpp/save. Error-recovery will remove frame number frame#, then
set stack pointer to frame# -1. If there are more than one such
entries, the stack pointer will be set to the lowest possible value.
