NAME

discover4x − analyze the SunOS 4.1 client support after converting to Solaris 2.1

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/discover4x [ export_root ]

AVAILABILITY

SUNWhinst

DESCRIPTION

discover4x analyzes the support that remains for SunOS 4.1 clients after the server has been converted to Solaris 2.1. 

The discover4x command is most commonly used after a SunOS 4.1 server has been upgraded to a Solaris 2.1 server.  This command looks at the SunOS 4.1 client support that exists and creates the databases that are required for installation of SunOS 4.1 diskless/dataless clients on this Solaris 2.1 server.  If client support for a given architecture is missing, discover4x attempts to notify the user that they will have to re-install this support using install4x(1M).  If you are converting clients that have the same architecture as the server that was converted to Solaris 2.1, you must re-install that architecture using the install4x(1M) command. 

OPTIONS

export_root Specify the location of the base directory of the client hierarchy that discover4x should analyze.  If unspecified, the default is /export.
