NAME
genufi - Generates a User File Inventory (UFI) file SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/genufi DESCRIPTION
The genufi utility creates a User File Inventory (UFI) file that contains the names of user files created or copied to your system after an installation. Some of these files reside on file systems that are overwritten during a new installation of the operating system. You must have superuser privileges to run the genufi utility, and you must invoke the genufi utility from the /usr/.smdb. directory. To create the UFI file, the genufi utility checks the Master Synchronization Inventory (MSI) file created by the invsync utility to deter- mine which file systems will be overwritten by a complete installation. The genufi utility searches those file systems for user files and writes these entries to the UFI file. File systems that remain intact during a new installation of the operating system are not searched. The genufi utility also filters out certain files and directories that would not commonly be considered for backup. For example, some log files, installation files, and temporary directories do not need to be restored after a complete installation and are not written to the UFI file. The following directories are not included: /tmp /tmp /usr/.smdb. /usr/sys/HOST /var/adm/smlogs /var/adm/syslog.dated /var/rwho /var/tmp In the previous list, HOST represents the hostname of the system (such as /usr/sys/BLUTO) on the system named bluto. The following files are not included: */core */*.dummy */.new.. /osf_boot */.profile */.proto.. /var/adm/binary.errlog /var/adm/xdm/xdm-pid */vmcore /*vmunix Edit the UFI file to remove the entries for files and directories that you do not want to back up. The UFI file is written in the setld inventory file format. Refer to the stl_inv(4) reference page for more information. RESTRICTIONS

NAME
cdslinvchk - Checks the CDSL inventory of the base operating system and layered applications. SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/cdslinvchk [log_file_path] OPTIONS
The path name to a location for the log file. By default this will be /var/adm/cdsl_check_list. DESCRIPTION
Use the cdslinvchk script to verify the current inventory of Context Dependent Symbolic Links (CDSLs) on a running system. CDSLs are spe- cial symbolic links that enable a system to work in a cluster. If CDSLs are accidentally removed, your system will not function correctly in a cluster. While this is not a problem for stand-alone systems, you may not be able to add the system as a member of a working cluster at some future time. You can run this script at any time or configure it to run at system start-up, or as a cron task. When you invoke the script, it checks the CDSLs on the running system against CDSLs of the installed inventory in /usr/.smdb and the addi- tional entries in /var/adm/cdsl_admin.inv, and ensures that each target file exists on the system as a properly-constituted CDSL. If the check is successful, the following message is displayed and the script terminates: Successful CDSL inventory check If the script finds inconsistencies in the inventory, warning messages are displayed on your terminal and logged to the default log file at /var/adm/cdsl_check_list. You can specify an alternate location for the log fill if required. The script locates any modified, missing, or replaced CDSLs. Note that the previous copy of the log file is renamed and retained for reference and is renamed by appending to the filename. Refer to the System Administration guide for information on recreating any missing or broken CDSLs. Refer to the hier(5) reference page for an inventory of CDSLs. MESSAGES One or more of the following messages may be displayed and logged to the log file: Unable to create <pathname> report file -- the script was not able to create a log file. Check the target directory and security. Expected CDSL: <cdsl_pathname> -> <pathname> CDSL Target has been modified to: <pathname> CDSL has been replaced with <pathname> CDSL is missing Failed CDSL inventory check. See details in <log file> FILES
