[zfs-discuss] zfs patches in latest sol10 u2 patch bundle
Hi ZFS gurus -- I have a v240 with solaris10 u2 release and ZFs - could you please tell me if by applying the latest patch bundle of update 2 -- I will get the all the ZFS patches installed as well ? Thanks much for your support ~Balu This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

S10U2 has zfs version=1. Any patches are just bug fixes (I'm not sure if there are any). If your intention is to get to a newer, later, greater ZFS, you'll need to upgrade. S10U5 has, for example, version=4. Differences in the versions of zfs can be found at http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/version/4/ (change the 4 to any number 1-11 for details).

It is possible to patch your way up to the U5 kernel and related patches, which should give you all the latest ZFS bits (available in Solaris anyways). I have done this from U3, but I believe coming from U2 wouldn't be much different. I assume that the required patches are in the latest bundle, but I believe 'smpatch update' is the prescribed method these days. Be aware that there is at least one obsolete patch that must be installed by hand in order to satisfy a dependency. I don't recall the patch number, but I know the dependant patch will print out a notice as such if the required patch is not installed. You will have to go through several patch-reboot iterations (one for each kernel patch, U2-U5) in order to get all the way there. Once your done patching, you should be able to do a 'zpool upgrade' to the current version (4). Depending on your situation though, it may just be easier to do an upgrade :) -Brian ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

There is a (very large) pre-packaged update 5 patch bundle on the sunsolve patch page to handle this situation.
