Re: [Solaris-Users] Questions about solaris patch

[Joaquin Henriquez Alzola]

You can use a tool call patch pro from sun that will let you know the latest patches without the need to go every day to their web site. Apart from that you can tell the patch pro which patches would you like to install such as I don't want patches that reboot the Solaris to be install. So from this tool you can manage quiet good.

Hi all,

Could you give me some idea about patch making from idea/bug all the way to
solution/patch? I am running a machine under solaris 8. I found SUN is
working really hard to release new patches. Almost everyday, I could find new
patches(some patches are updated by their revision number.) on SUN's
supporting ftp server. Generally speaking, how could I handle these stuff at
a daily basis? Should I install all the related patches everyday? Are there
any guideline about this issue from some sophisticated guys playing around
this ground for quite a time?

Thank for any reply,

Ben

Hi, Ben!
in general you should install security fixes first, reliability second
and improvement last.
Mind that installing patches constantly may lead to rebooting almost every day
for patches to take effect.
Check for patchpro - it is able to analyze sistems, fetch deps and install them.
Sequence patching with your security policy.
Hope that helps,
