Kernel patch update for solaris 10 x86

I have Solaris 10 06/06 installed on x86 machine which is using svm and clustered with another node. The kernel revision is 118855-19 from the uname -a output. I am looking for the kernel patch updation and I heard 118855-36 is the latest one. Shall I go ahead with this patch and what r the dependency patches for this.
If anyone done this please suggest and guide me..

For Solaris 10 x86 the latest offered with smpatch is 125101-07 and yes it may be recommended to patch. Then again you said clustered with sun cluster? You may want to check the documentation and if your machines aren't facing the internet you may wait for 7/07 to hit the street and do an upgrade.

Kernel patch updation for solaris 10 x86

I have Solaris 10 06/06 installed on x86 machine which is using svm and clustered with another node. The kernel revision is 118855-19 from the uname -a output. I am looking for the kernel patch updation and I heard 118855-36 is the latest one. Shall I go ahead with this patch and what r the dependency patches for this.
If anyone done this please guide me..

Patch 118855-36 is the latest kernel patch for Solaris 10 on x86 and its dependencies are:
113000-01 117435-02 118344-14 119043-09 119255-14 121264-01 122035-01 123840-01 (or greater)
Whether you should go ahead and install the patch is up to you, if possible try it out on a test box first. For better advice on this matter, I would suggest posting in the Solaris 10 forum as this forum is for the Sun Update Connection, Patch Manager & PatchPro toolsets.

Steps for Kernel Patch Updation on Solaris 10 X4100 with 2disks mirrored

Hi all,
I have Solaris 10 10/06 (118855-19) installed on one of the X4100 server. This is the time for me to update the latest kernel patch (118855-36). We have two disks mirrored. My questions are,
1) Do i need to detach any of the disk from the mirror before doing any patching.
2) Is it possible to install the patches without detaching any disks from the mirror. (i.e. installeing patch on mirrored root filesystem)
3) how to boot from the second disk in case the patch installation creates problem while booting up.
Any suggestions or steps which you have already implemented for the above scenario.

This isn't really a question for this forum, you may be better to look at some of the sys-admin forums for a complete answer.
You should not need to break the mirror in order to apply the kernel patch, however doing so would allow for quicker recovery of the system should something go wrong during patching.
I would strongly advise that you read the special install instructions for the kernel patch prior to installing it.

You may also wish to use a patch cluster rather than smpatch/updatemanager, these can be downloaded from SunSolve:

Static library not accessed properly after Solaris Kernel patch update !

Hi,
We are facing a sever issue in our application after our customer updated the Solaris 10 kernel patch u9 to u10.
We have two static libraries libdlib.a and libDLIB.a, with exactly same code base, but these two libraries are scattered across the code base and linked by many shared objects in our application.
However, one of the shared objects that links to "libdlib.a" library tries to access a function from "libDLIB.a". This behavior is causing a crash at a later point, since that shared object is supposed to access the function from "libdlib.a". Moreover, we found this is happening through the use of dbx.
I'm unable to understand why this problem surfaced after kernel patch update, though still the shared object works fine on Solaris 10 u9 patch.
Flow is something like this :
1. syslogrecorder.so gets loaded by one of the processes.
2. syslogrecorder.so is linked to "libdlib.a" at compile time, so it uses "libdlib.a" function DLIB_LoadLibrary and gets a handle to all the function pointers of the loaded library ( The purpose of DLIB_LoadLibrary is to load a shared library dynamically using dlopen )
3. syslogrecorder.so tries to do a "dlsym" and to do that it needs access to the library handle which we got in previous call DLIB_LoadLibrary. So syslogrecorder.so calls another function from DLIB_ProcAddress, which actually gives back the access to the loaded shared library.
Here is a catch in step 3, it is supposed to call DLIB_ProcAddress from the libdlib.a but as we observed from dbx output it does so by calling DLIB_ProcAddress from libDLIB.a and hence fails to give back the access to loaded shared library, causing crash at a later point in code.
Can someone put some light here that why this could happen ??
Thanks
Kuldeep

To clarify: You did not modify or rebuild any of your binaries, but after installing a kernel patch, the application stopped working. Most likely, something about your application depended on a accidental behavior of the runtime loader. That accidental behavior changed due to the patch, and your application failed.
For example, if there is a circular dependency among shared libraries, the loader will break the cycle at an arbitrary point to establish an initialization order. By accident, that order might work, in the sense of not causing a problem. A change to the loader could cause the cycle to be broken at a different point, and the resulting initialization order could cause a now-uninitialized object to be accessed. I'm not saying this is what is wrong, but this is an example of a dependency on accidental loader behavior.
Finding your actual problem will require tracing the sequence of operations leading up to the failure. You are more likely to find help in a Solaris linker forum. AFAIK, there are currently no Oracle forums for Solaris, and the old OpenSolaris forums have been converted to mailing lists. You can try the "tools-linking" list found on this page:
http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo
I also suggest you review the paper on best practices for using shared libraries written by Darryl Gove and myself:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/linkinglibraries-396782.html
If you have a service contract with Oracle, you can use your support channel to get more help.

Help with evaluation for Solaris x86

Hello,
I would like to evaluate Oracle Identity Manager and Access Manager products at the latest version possible -- the host system(s) are Solaris x86 (SunOS .5.10) Unfortunately, I am having a bit of trouble compiling the list of packages/versions to achieve this for this platform. For instance, on the downloads page it appears that OIM is not available for Solaris x86, not even in older versions(?)
Thank you in advance,
Scott

Hi Scott,
I'm pretty sure that x86 Solaris is not yet certified to run the Identity Management suite. I've been involved in an evaluation process and we ran it all on RedHat Enterprise Server Release 4 Update 5, without too many problems.
cheers,
James

Agent for Solaris x86

Does anyone have any info about the availability of an agent(preferably 10.2.0.5) for solaris x86 platforms? I was able to find a document referencing a 10.2.0.2 version but nothing else.

Hi,

ETA for Solaris x86-64 11g(R2)?

Does anyone have a contact that has any knowledge of what platforms are truly being supported for the 11gR2 release?
I'm having great difficulty getting an answer for Solaris x86-64 from our Oracle reps.
Thanks,

We are running "big iron" (16 cores on one of the servers should qualify), although now in the x64 format instead of the overpriced Sparc versions we have phased out, after being told by Oracle that the planned to support the platform going forward.
However, either Oracle is going to support this platform, as metalink shows but on which they have not delivered, or not. If they are dropping it, other than support what exists, we won't be happy, but at least we can make plans for the future. This is all we have:
bq. Certify - Additional Info Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 11gR1 64-bit On Sun Solaris x86-64 (64-bit) \\ Operating System: Sun Solaris x86-64 (64-bit) Version 10 \\ Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 11gR1 64-bit \\ N/A Version N/A \\ Status: Projected \\ Product Version Note: \\ None available for this product. \\ Certification Note: \\ Schedule to be announced. \\ NOTE: This is the most current and accurate information. Do not log Service Requests to Support for additional information. When the date is known this note will be updated. \\ Certify Administrator - 2008
They owe us, the customers an honest answer and timeframe. I think we've been more than patient.

ASE for Solaris x86

I really need a developers edition of ASE for Solaris x86. The current versions that are available are only for Linux or Windows. Is there anywhere I can get the Solaris x86 version??

You haven't mentioned which ASE version you're looking for so I'm going to assume a newer/recent version of ASE 15.7 is sufficient ...
For quite awhile now all ASE downloads (IR, GA, EBF, SPxxx) have contained the entire code line (ie, you don't have to find a GA release and then apply a smaller/delta ebf patch file to get the latest version).
If you've got access to the EBF downloads @ sybase.com you should be able to download a recent copy of ASE 15.7 for Solaris/x86. During installation just pick the developer license version (the install will generate a generic *lic file for the developers version).
While there may be a way to download the file from the SAP website(s), I wouldn't have a clue since a) the SAP websites are poorly-designed/confusing and b) SAP is clamping down pretty hard on what Sybase related downloads are available and to whom.

OEM Grid Control Release (not just agent) for Solaris x86?

I see management agents that can be downloaded off of OTN, but is there an official release of Grid Control for Solaris on x86?
"Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control *Release 5* (10.2.0.5) for Solaris Operating System *(SPARC)*"
"Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control *Management Agent Release 1* (10.1.0.3) for Solaris *x86*"

Please throw me some more meat on that bone. I'm still waiting for my Metalink access. (i.e., can you cut and paste the note text onto this forum message.)Sharing(Cut&Paste) Metalink Notes is not legal.
Oracle has no plans for 10.2.0.4 and for 10.2.0.5 it's expected by Q3 on x86(32&64)
