hi !
i want to update all patches of my solaris 9 systems. I read all about it. I installed patch manager but in its Read me file i found out that its only for solaris 8 and there is some update manager for solaris 9. then i tried to update from SMC but for that patchPro is must. I read about patch Cluster etc etc.
so not sure which option is best to update all my solaris 9 patches.
plz guide me so that i can upate all patches.
Thanks
there are patches like 115553-09 which not installed yet . wat should i do. i mean i read that patchpro analyze the patches n then download it. is there any option in patch cluster etc.
Download and unzip the file 9_Recommended.zip to a temporary directory. It will create the directory called 9_Recommended. Change to this directory and run the install_cluster shell script. The process may take up to several hours depending on the system.
# su -
# unzip 9_Recommended.zip
# cd 9_Recommended
# ./install_cluster
During the patch process you may encounter several failures with either error code 2 and/or error code 8. These are normal. They represent "package already at current rev" and "underlying package not installed". Anything other than 2 or 8 you should look more closely at.

There are various patches that will not apply because you either don't have the package installed, have a newer or current patch installed, have a pre-requisite not met, etc. The only way all of the patches will apply is if you have all packages installed and they are so far out of date they all have a patch available.
