Yes

you need to make sure that the sun packages are loaded first AND in the
correct order.
so rename your package files

01_Raq4.all.etc.etc.etc
02_Raq4.kernel update .etc.etc

so that they get loaded in the order 01, 02, 03 etc (01 the oldest pkg
loaded first)
Put them in

\NFSROOT_X86\BTO_SYNC\BUNDLES

and they will be loaded after the os restore

have a look at Bruce Timberlakes how to
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2002-May/070800.html

you need to updates this how to incorporate all the latest patches.

If you are restoring your server you may want to increase the size of the /
and /var partitions especially if you have larger hard drives.

The Partition_Table referred to is in

/nfsroot-x86/bto-sync/production/<release_spec>/installer/release_spec.<prod
uct>

 For example, on RaQ 4r, it's

 /nfsroot-x86/bto-sync/production/3100R_1.155/installer/release_spec.3100R

 The relevant bit of the file looks like:

 # This is the partition table for the product
 %begin Partition_Table
 0,750,83              ### change this to  0,3000,83
 ,158,5
 ,200,83              ### change this to  ,1500,83
 ,,83
 ,30,83
 ,,82
 %end Partition_Table

This will give 3 gig and 1.5 gig partitions.

There is no better feeling than restoring a server and having a fully
patched server with all the other things you want on like owm etc. right
from the word go, it also saves hours of your time once you have set it all
up.


Good luck

Paul.
