30Chapter 2 Installing Device Manager software

1Use the uname -acommand to determine the version of SunOS/Solaris that is installed on your workstation.

Table 1 lists the patch file archive name for each version of Solaris.

Table 1 Solaris patch files

SunOS/Solaris version

Patch file name

 

 

5.6/2.6

jre131_sol56_patchBundle.tar

 

 

5.7/2.7

jre131_sol57_patchBundle.tar

 

 

5.8/2.8

jre131_sol58_patchBundle.tar

 

 

2Create a new working directory and move to that directory by entering: mkdir /tmp/patch

cd /tmp/patch

3Download the patch file archive to the working directory and untar the file by entering:

tar -xvf jre131_solxx_patchBundle.tar where:

xx is 56, 57, or 58

4Run the localcheck Perl script included in the patch bundle to determine if the JRE 1.3.1 patches are applied by entering:

perl localcheck

Note: Perl must be installed on the system and it must be included in the execution path for this script to work.

If the script reports that all patches are up to date, you do not need to install the patches. Proceed to the next section, “Installing the JRE in a SunOS/Solaris environment” on page 31.

5If the script indicates that patches are required for your system, you should run the install script pinst. Make the install script file executable by entering:

chmod a+x pinst
