Updating your 7.7 SGI to 8.0 should now work... The addition is a cp
in step 2.
IV. Updating a workstation
1) Login as root via xlogin.
(The default password is "drroot", but I really hope
that your root password is different).
This time only, you will be running the update while X is
running. This is partly due to the fact that console (^P)
logins are not available under 7.7; they will be available
to you once you update to 8.0, however.
2) Get the new system packs attached.
Type:
/bin/athena/detach -h -n -a
/bin/athena/attach -h -n dev-sgisys
cp /srvd/bin/athena/getcluster /bin/athena
3) Type:
/srvd/update_ws reactivate
This may ask you to press <RETURN> or prompt you for other information.
The prompts should be intelligible (you've no doubt gone through all
these questions during previous updates; there's nothing radically new
in this update). The update should take approximately 75 minutes.
4) After the update says it has updated the version number and another
# prompt has appeared, type:
/etc/reboot
