Solaris Patch Requirements

This section shows the Solaris patches that you must install for the CWM and those that we recommend you install. You will install these patches after you install the Solaris 9 operating system.

Before You Begin Installing Patches

For best results, follow these Sun recommendations before you begin installing the patches:

After installing the Solaris 9 operating system, you must install the Solaris 9 Kernel Patch 12 or later. After you have installed the patch, you will install the additional patches (see Table 6) if they were not already installed as part of the cluster.

Use the single-user mode to install most patches.

Shut down CWM processes before installing the patches.

Avoid installing these patches that cause problems with Informix during startup.

SPARC Platform—Solaris 9 with patches 112963-21 through 112963-24

x86 Platform—Solaris 9 with patches 113986-17 through 113986-20

Not all Solaris patches or patch clusters require a reboot. If a reboot is not required, you can start the CWM after the patch is installed.

Installing the Patches

Use this procedure and sequence to install the Solaris patches, which assumes that the Solaris operating system is already installed.

Step 1 Verify the already installed patches. To do this, use the Solaris showrev –pcommand.

Step 2 Go to the SunSolve Patch Access website to access the patches:

http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access

(If you have a SunSpectrum contract, you can also access patches from SunService.)

Install the Kernel Patch 12 for Solaris 9. See Table 6 for the correct version number.

Step 3 Install the rest of the required patches if they were not already installed as part of the cluster. Depending on your situation, you may want to enter only the first 6 digits of the patch number in the Find Patch field on the Sun Patch Access site and not the version extension to obtain the latest patch version.

Step 4 Install the recommended patches, as needed and desired. (Several of these recommended patches may require a service contract with Sun.)
