Operating Systems AIX how to pre-determine if a reboot is required? Post 75274 by bakunin on Thursday 16th of June 2005 12:21:55 PM

Ok, i copied two sample files to a directory and did as I said. The first example is a file requiring no reboot:

Code:
0 061616135805 2
bos.adt.include.5.1.0.67.bff 4 R S bos.adt {
bos.adt.include 05.01.0000.0067 1 N U en_US Base Application Development Include
 Files
[
*ifreq bos.64bit (5.1.0.0) 5.1.0.50
*ifreq bos.adt.syscalls (5.1.0.0) 5.1.0.50
<rest snipped>

now a file requiring a reboot:

Code:
0 061616181805 2
bos.mp64.5.1.0.66.bff 4 R S bos.mp64 {
bos.mp64 05.01.0000.0066 1 b U en_US Base Operating System 64-bit Multiprocessor
 Runtime
[
*ifreq bos.64bit (5.1.0.0) 5.1.0.50
*ifreq bos.adt.include (5.1.0.0) 5.1.0.63
<rest snipped>

Notice the difference in the third lines of the outputs:

"bos.adt.include 05.01.0000.0067 1 N U en_US...."

versus:

"bos.mp64 05.01.0000.0066 1 b U en_US...."

This "b" means "have to reboot afterwards". And, yes, it is failsafe because this flag is what is making installp initiating the reboot in first place.

BOS_SETRESTRICTED(8)					       AFS Command Reference					      BOS_SETRESTRICTED(8)

NAME
bos_setrestricted - place a server in restricted mode SYNOPSIS
bos setrestricted -server <machine name> -mode 1 [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help] DESCRIPTION
The bos restricted command places the server in restricted mode. This mode increases the security of the bos server by removing access to a number of bos commands that are only used whilst configuring a system. When a server is in restricted mode, access to bos_exec, bos uninstall, bos install, bos create, bos install, bos delete, bos prune is denied, and the use of bos getlog is limited. CAUTIONS
Once a server has been placed in restricted mode, it may not be opened up again using a remote command. That is, bos setrestricted has no method of setting an unrestricted mode. Once a server is restricted, it can only be opened up again by sending it a SIGFPE, which must be done as root on the local machine. OPTIONS
-server <machine name> Indicates the server machine to restrict. -cell <cell name> Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8). -noauth Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8). -localauth Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see bos(8). -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine named by the -server argument, or must be logged in as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included. As noted above, this command cannot be run against servers which are already in restricted mode. SEE ALSO
