TuneUp 6.0.0L on SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 Issues

TuneUp 6.0.0L Installation fails

After installing the Olympus TuneUp files, the kernel link fails with
messages similar to those shown below:


The UNIX Operating System will now be rebuilt.
This will take a few minutes.  Please wait.

Root for this system build is /
undefined			  first referenced
symbol  			       in file
sptmap         /var/opt/K/SCO/link/1.1.1Eb/etc/conf/pack.d/drt/Driver.o
i386ld fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to unix
ERROR: Can not link-edit unix


idbuild: idmkunix had errors.
System build failed.

Between SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 and 5.0.5, the kernel tunable sptmap was eliminated from the kernel, leading to the above error when the TuneUp driver tries to access the symbol.

To solve this problem, download tune505.tar (121856 bytes, checksum
(sum -r) of 09244)

The archive is in Unix tar format and contains a file that will allow TuneUp to recognize that the symbol sptmap no longer exists on SCO OpenServer Release 5.05.

To install the fix, log in as the Superuser, root, and run the following command:

# tar xvf [path-to]/tune505.tar

The archive is in absolute format and will 'automagically' put the fix into place.
After running the tar command, rebuild the kernel and reboot the server.
