Hi all,

I need to take the time duration for Solaris installation to several
SPARC server, instead of manually time taking, is there anywhere in
Solaris system that will tell me how long time it takes for
installation? Please help.

I also need to take time for EIS-DVD patch updating process at
- setup-standard.sh
- unpack-patches
- install_all_patches

If taking time manually I afraid I might miss it when the installation
is done.

Please help. Thanks

If you are using a server to install over the network, put a "date" at
the beginning and another "date" at the end. The log should then show
both times.

There are probably two or three OTHER ways to do this; the above is the
first solution that occurred to me!

The procedure suggested above should handle this one too!

Thanks for your reply, still got some question to ask....

Can you explain detail more about "put a 'date' at the beginning and
another 'date' at the end"? where should I put the 'date' statement.
If I didn't do installation through network, can this solution still
applicable?

I use Console cable connect direct to M3000 XSCF then login to domain
for Solaris 10 OS installation. When install Solaris 10, there will be
some setting before the installation start, I think of grep the time
when installation start and end. Any solution for it?

Thanks
