Solaris patch information




















I need to apply patch to my iptable and netfilter for connection tracking and load balancing that are available in patch-o-matic distribution by netfilter Dear All , I have Sun Solaries 7 sparc server Shell Programming and Scripting. OS Patch. I downloaded the patch from HP web site. Please get back to me at the earliest as I'm dead in the water. Thanks, Balaji K 3 Replies. RedHat Commands. OpenSolaris Commands. Linux Commands. SunOS Commands. FreeBSD Commands.

More specifically, the patchadd command:. Updates the patch package's pkginfo file with information about patches obsoleted by the patch being installed, other patches required by this patch, and patches incompatible with this patch. The patch is incompatible with another, already installed patch. Each installed patch keeps this information in its pkginfo file. This procedure assumes that you have already pulled the patch from one of the sites listed in Accessing Solaris Patches.

Or, you can download the patch and use the ftp command to copy the patch to the target system. Determine if you are going to download a recommended a specific patch or patch cluster. Then select one of the following:. Make sure you install the patch that matches your system architecture. Click on a recommended patch cluster based on the Solaris release running on the system to be patched.

When you back out a patch, the patchrm command restores all files modified by that patch, unless:. The patch was installed with patchadd -d which instructs patchadd not to save copies of files being updated or replaced. The patchrm command calls pkgadd to restore packages that were saved from the initial patch installation. This log file is removed if the patch backs out successfully. Chapter 24 Managing Solaris Patches Tasks Patch management involves listing or installing Solaris patches from a system running the Solaris release.

You must bring computers into single-user mode to prepare them for kernel-level or cluster-level patching. Create a baseline to modify a Solaris patch Fixlet for single-user mode. You can control which packages to deploy to Solaris computers that have the BigFix client installed.

You can retrieve a list of all installed packages on Solaris 10 and 11 endpoints by activating analyses on the BigFix console. You can retrieve a list of the Solaris 10 and 11 endpoints that contain packages with available updates by activating analyses on the BigFix console.

Superseded Fixlets are Fixlets that contain outdated patch packages. If a Fixlet is superseded, a newer Fixlet exists with newer versions of the packages. You can install an earlier version of a Solaris patch by enabling superseded Fixlets. Patch Management for Solaris supports zone patching on Solaris 10 endpoints.

Use the Solaris Live Upgrade tool to manage system downtime and risk when installing patches on alternate boot environments on Solaris 9 and 10 computers. To better understand BigFix Patch for Solaris, read the following questions and answers.

It gives you unified, near real-time visibility and enforcement to deploy and manage patches to all HP-UX endpoints.

It gives you unified, near real-time visibility and enforcement to deploy and manage patches to all Mac OS X endpoints. BigFix Patch for Debian provides an automated, simplified patching process that is administered from a single console. It gives you unified, near real-time visibility and enforcement to deploy and manage patches to all Debian endpoints. This topic describes how supersedence works in Patch. This section discusses how you can use Fixlets to patch a Solaris 11 operating system to a specific SRU with the assumption that a configured local repository is in place.

For information about local repositories, see Local repositories. The Fixlets in the Patches for Solaris 11 site use packages to patch SRUs either from the Oracle Solaris release repository or from a local repository, depending on your repository configuration.

By default, the packages are downloaded from the Oracle Solaris release repository. You can set a local repository as the package repository for certain endpoints by using the Solaris Image Packaging System Repository Management dashboard. An alternative method of patching Solaris 11 endpoints is to use the Install packages by using pkg task. This task enables you to deploy individual packages or all the packages for an SRU.

For more information, see Installing packages on Solaris Learning Academy. If you do not believe you can reboot every month, update at least every quarter to the Oracle critical patch update. To download repository files, see Oracle Solaris The Repository download contains the SRU repository files.

Perform the update as described in Image Update Overview. To update systems to a particular SRU, you must have access to that SRU by using the Oracle Solaris support repository or by adding the content of the repository file for that SRU to your local repository. For example, if you did not add SRU 28 repository content to your local repository, but you did add SRU 29 repository content, you would have all fixes that were initially delivered in any SRU for this release through SRU 29, but you would not be able to update systems to the SRU 28 level.

A query would show that your local repository does not contain [email protected] , even though it does contain [email protected]. See Check Available Versions. The following critical patch update package is available with each monthly SRU. The solariscpu package is not installed by default.
