need adb script to patch OS release number in utsname
I am trying to install a program that works on 11.23 but won't work on 11.31 and it complains about the OS release. I'd like to at least "try" to patch utsname in kernel which is likely reporting the "official" OS release.
in other words (just for this install) I want uname -a to say 11.23 instead of 11.31
can some kind kernel hack help me out with the right adb script here to just change the running memory image just for a quick sec to see if it will work
FWIW I have used this on other architectures sucessfully..
thanks

You should contact the application vendor to ask for 11.23 version of the program which have been qualified for that OS.
That type of hack can't be explained in such forum.

Is the product Oracle by any chance?
If so, using the runInstaller option "-ignoreSysPrereqs" should do the trick

Re: need adb script to patch OS release number in utsname
Thanks all for posts all.
The SW is Clearcase V6 and its not using swinstall. For a variety of reasons I would rather try to get it going on 11.31 on this rx2800 even though its an 11.23 binary.
I had hoped to get binary compatibility.
As a backup i have an rx2600 coming very soon to load up 11.23 to get around this which wasn't what I wanted but I guess I will have to deal with it.
I realize that Clearcase uses loopback file drivers and such and that kernel mods from 11.23 to 11.31 were major but I was thinking that the the loopback driver wasn't the module/area that got the major overhaul..which is why I wanted to at least try it.
further like I mentioned before I have used this exact type of patch before on another HW/OS platform and it worked quite well and my app didn't break.
ergo my question

Stop! Don't even think about this!
CC V7 is mandatory to run on 11.31. The MVFS filesystem is kernel intrusive and massive changes were done in HP-UX and the corresponding changes were done in MVFS.
If you really insist, make sure you have an ignite backup because your kernel will not gen.
>I had hoped to get binary compatibility.
CC V7 should have an upgrade path for your existing views/VOBs.
>that kernel mods from 11.23 to 11.31 were major
Exactly, end of story.
>worked quite well and my app didn't break.
CC is not exactly an app, it is like a mini OS.
