Performing a System Backup

6
If you system has IRIX version 6.5.13 or earlier, you will need to upgrade your system to
IRIX 6.5.14 with patch 4426, or IRIX 6.5.15 (when available), before installing the Duo
hardware. Contact your SGI representative for more information.
If you system has IRIX version 6.5.14, you will need patch 4426 before installing the Duo
hardware.
To determine if you have patch 4426 installed, type the following at an IRIX command
prompt:
2% versions patchSG0004426
If the output of this command is simply the headings "Name," "Date," and
"Description" you do not have patch 4426 installed. This patch must be installed (or you
must upgrade your system to IRIX 6.5.15 or later, when released) before installing the
Duo hardware.
If the output of this command includes items below the Name-Date-Description
heading, you do have patch 4426 installed, and you may install the Duo hardware.
If your system has IRIX version 6.5.15 or later (when available), you may install the Duo
hardware.
It is always a good idea to back up your system before installing any new hardware. If
you have not backed up your system recently, take this opportunity to do so. For
instructions on backing up your system, see the Personal System Administration Guide.
