[Veritas-vx] Applying SF5.0MP1 patches via jumpstart

2007-06-21 Thread Paul Robertson
Folks, We typically install Storage Foundation via Solaris jumpstart. In previous versions (e.g. 4.0, 4.1, etc), the Veritas documentation enumerated the patches required for the "mp" updates. However, the Storage Foundation 5.0 documentation only describes how to install the maintenance pack
