[root@fbsvis stage1220]# unzip V100052*
After unzipping the above 3 zip files we will see a folder
created with startCD name.
[root@fbsvis stage]# ls -ld startCD

Let's check the version of start CD.

Note: During installation rapidwiz might error with the
unzip version if it higher than 5.5x.


The startCD provide us with correct version of the unzip. We
will use same.


mv /usr/bin/unzip /usr/bin/unzip_orig
ln -s /mnt/stage1220/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/unzip/Linux_x64/unzip /usr/bin/unzip



Check version 


unzip -version
 


We will build stage now which will automatically take care
of all unzipping all other zip file and checking its integrity.

Go to below directory and run buildstage.sh
[root@fbsvis rapidwiz]# cd bin/
[root@fbsvis bin]# pwd
/u01/mnt/stage12201220/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/bin

1.7      Patching the Staging Area
After running the buildStage script, you should patch the
stage area with the latest consolidated fixes since the release of the current
StartCD. For StartCD 12.2.0.51, the consolidated fixes are delivered in Patch 32947483.

Download Patch 32947483.

Unzip this patch using the following command:

unzip p 32947483_R12_GENERIC.zip.Change to the 32947483
directory.
Patch the stage area using the following commands:
UNIX:
sh patchRIStage.sh
When prompted for the location of the Rapid Install stage,
enter the path to the stage area you created for StartCD 12.2.0.51.
Tip: Run the script as the same user(root) that you used to
run the buildStage script when creating the stage area.

[root@ebstest 32947483]# ./patchRIStage.sh
