[SOLVED] Proper patching method for Solaris
SOLUTION:
You'll want to download the Solaris patches from: http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=home - get yourself an account, and you'll want to at least download the 'Sun Alert Patch Cluster' for your OS, as well as the 'Recommended' patch archive, which usually has a generic title like '10_x86'. I downloaded each archive, put them in /tmp (my /tmp is huge on my servers), and proceeded to unzip them: Code:
# cd /tmp Code:
# cd <nameofunzippedarchive> Code:
# ./installer_xxx Rebooted the server, the patches stuck. I ran the revision test to see which ones were applied. Quite a lot of them, and it took a long time to patch - 4+ hours. o_O ORIGINAL POST: All - I want to patch a 10 box with the latest/greatest. From this fun screenshot, I honestly have no idea where to start: http://omploader.org/vbzVk Steer a Solaris/patching n00b in the right direction here? Yes, I've RTFM'ed quite a bit, but the documentation simply has me running in circles. It's not clear which patch you're supposed to download, and why. Thanks! |

Yes. As stated in the README files of the last two patches clusters for Solaris 10, it should update your system to the patch level of the recently release Solaris 10 Update 5.
Good luck! |
