Sun Update Connection Client 1.0.8 now available

The Sun Update Connection System client, version 1.0.8 is now available as
software update 121118-08 (SPARC) or 121119-08 (x86). Version 1.0.8
is the biggest update we have produced since the initial release of the Sun Update
Connection and includes the following enhancements:
o Sun Update Manager has a brand new user interface which includes a new
look and icons, numerous usability improvements such as better progress
reporting and the ability to print/save installed and available patch lists and
patch README files.
o Support for Solaris Live Upgrade so patches can be added to an inactive
alternate boot environment.
o The Solaris 10 SMF configuration framework is now used to trigger the
installation of patches with special handling requirements (single user mode
or restart-after required) which will improve compatibility and reliability.
o The version 1.0.8 client uses a new Sun-hosted patch server that outsources
content delivery to Akamai. This enables us to provide superior download
performance to our customers worldwide.
For a complete list of the defects corrected in this release please
refer to the patch README file for this patch. Note also that this
update includes fixes that were delivered in prior releases of the
Sun Update Connection client software patch. By installing this update
you may be getting fixes that were previously available but not present
on your system.
Sun Update Connection Hosted application has been refreshed to include
numerous user interface adjustments and fixes that have been suggested by a
customer focus group usability study. Although there are no new features,
the usability of the product is substantially improved.
Thank You,
Sun Update Connection Team

On the SunStudio Patches - I dont believe that this will be fully fixed since part of the problem is the patches themselves. I however do not have access to a SunStudio installed test system at present so I'd be interested to hear feedback from someone who has tried installing these through the SunUC 1.0.8 toolset
Fonts - I believe that greater flexibility will be coming in future releases. Work on the Update Manager gui is still ongoing
Patch server - Yes the SunUC proxy will use the new servers providing it has been upgarded to 1.0.8
Sun4u patch - This is an issue with the patch metadata being incorrect and not the toolset.

Need to download Sun Update Connection - Enterprise

Where would I download the Sun Update Connection - Enterprise 1.x .tgz file?

You can download it using this https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=SunUCE-OTH-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI ]
In case you do not already have a license you will need to contact Sales. See http://www.sun.com/service/sunconnection/get.jsp for more information.

Sun Update Connection Certificate Update - Install by 23-Feb-2006

Important Notice: Sun Update Connection has updated the certificates we use to secure our communication channels. To ensure continued service, you will need to apply a special software update before February 23, 2006.
The specific patch IDs are:
122231-01 (Solaris SPARC) - http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-122231-01-1
122232-01 (Solaris x86/x64) - http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-122232-01-1
After February 23 you can use the following command on your managed systems
to install the appropriate patch to enable management at the Sun Update Connection
application:
smpatch update -i 122231-01 (for SPARC clients)
smpatch update -i 122232-01 (for x86 clients)

Solved it. Solution is to move all of the patches into /var/spool/pkg and run patchadd on each one in there (in the right order).

How Sun Update Connection Proxy really works

Hi,
Apolgies if this question is in the FAQ, but the FAQ link in the header text of this forum gives me a 404.
I've been trawling the docs on Sun Update Connection Proxy and trying to understand how it works with regards caching. The docs are quite detailed in how to set it up, for example how to point to a proxy using http://<proxy-name>:3816 etc., and how to install patchsvr and how to start it.
What seems to be missing from the manuals IMHO (and this all might become blatantly obvious once I've been using it a while) is any details on how the smpatch update process works end-to-end through a proxy, e.g. I know how to change the cache location using the patchsvr command but how and when is anything stored in that location? What are all the files and directories that reside under /var/sadm/spool, and how many of these relate to a proxy (LPS) server?
Is smpatch supposed to clear out the .jar files in there or do I need to set up a job to do that regularly?
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Inside /var/sadm/spool there are several directories, I won't describe all of them, but for most purposes this should be enough:
Client:
/var/sadm/spool/cache/Database - stores patchsets (current2, etc)
/var/sadm/spool/cache/xml - stores the MoTD files
/var/sadm/spool/cache/entitlement - stores the entitlement file (note this is generated by the server on each request)
/var/sadm/spool/cache/updatemanager/analysis.results - if you have the swupAuto cron job, this directory is used to hold analysis to speed up UM launch
/var/sadm/spool/cache/ReadMe - holds the patch readme's (mostly for use with UM)
/var/sadm/spool/cache/collection - holds a file containing information about available patchsets
/var/sadm/spool/cache/category - holds a file describing the types of patches (currently Update Tools, Security, Recommended, and Generic)
/var/sadm/spool/sunucLog - holds job_history.log
Proxy:
/var/sadm/spool/patchsvr - this holds all files required for analysis and patches with URL-encoded filenames, the files used to be stored in a more hierarchical directory structure, but this changed a few patch revisions ago.
As for cleaning, in general it is safe to delete all files under /var/sadm/spool/cache/ as all of the patches are stored at /var/sadm/spool/ and most other files should be replaced on a regular basis automatically, however you may want to remove all of the patches too once you have completed your patching sessions - this is not done automatically. On the proxy you might not want to be so thorough - you would normally want to keep the patches (or at least keep the most recent ones - 180 days in this example):
# cd /var/sadm/spool/patchsvr
# ls | grep -v all_signed | xargs rm
# find /var/sadm/spool/patchsvr/ -mtime +180 -exec rm {} \;Does this answer your questions, or do you need further explanation?

CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE
1. CTRL E has never worked and I have always edited my site via a link that my web designer has given me ,I don't get an error message just nothing happens, any ideas?
2. When I go through the link given to me by my web designer to edit the site the site appears but everything is smaller, font boxes etc, and not the correct size, I can edit ,however when I then exit editing and check to see if my site has changed nothing has .
Viewing the site outside of incontext editing all is normal, correct size etc , it is only when I'm in editing that the site appears different and not right.This is a recent problem and all ( apart from CTRL E ) has been fine.
Its almost like I have 2 websites one out here and one in incontext editing , any suggestions
Many thanks

Managing patches with Sun Update Connection

I have just started using updatemanager to download and install my patches and found some issues I would like to discuss.
First, the patch that updates the software to version 1.0.3 (121119-03) was not available on updatemanager itself. I found it on the sunsolve site by accident.
Second, from the 20 patches available for me to install, 19 failed. The ones that needed reboot "succeeded" but upon shutdown they failed one by one. Even though the failure reasons were ok, like there is a newer patch revision already installed, I think updatemanager could handle all this dependency and versioning thing automatically, and suppress these patches from the list of available patches or at least show them with different status.
Third, I am not sure how to use Sun Update Connection on a systematic basis for keeping my system up to date. Should I install all patches available or not? I don't want to lose time reading all patch descriptions to find out which patches are necessary or not. Is there a straightforward way?
Am I missing something or is updatemanager really just falling short of my expectations?
-- Douglas

To repeat a comment I made in another thread, I agree with datique on this. UM should have a way to say "ignore this patch, I don't want it and never want to see it again". Of course, it needs to keep track of any dependencies there may be later on down the road. The example I gave in the other thread involved the GigaSwift update being needed on my Blade 100 at home.
This isn't meant as a gripe, but a suggestion. I realize that UM is a new tool, and many things like this need to be (are?) hammered out with community feedback.

Sun Update Connection

I have several hundred Solaris 10 boxes (with a current Sun support contract) on an internal (i.e. isolated from the Internet) network. I would like to set up a Sun Update Connection proxy for Solaris patches only. Is it possible to download (and periodically update) the files needed for the proxy server (patches, database, etc.) using a web browser by hand? Moving the proxy server between the Internet and the internal network is not possible.

Thanks. The "Enterprise edition Sun Connection" is the same as "Sun Connection-Customer Satellite", correct? If so, am I also correct that, although the Solaris 10 Update Channel is included with my support contract, the Satellite software needs to be purchased separately?

Sun Update Connection install fails on Patch 119574-02

Just finished installing Solaris 10 (3/05) on my brand new Sun Blade 1500. I then downloaded the latest version of Sun Update Connection, but the installer fails as follows:
# ./installUpdateConnection
Adding patch 119574-02
Validating patches...
Loading patches installed on the system...
Done!
Loading patches requested to install.
Done!
Checking patches that you specified for installation.
Done!
Approved patches will be installed in this order:
119574-02
Checking installed patches...
Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...
Patch 119574-02 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.
See /var/sadm/patch/119574-02/log for details
Patchadd is terminating.The above log file reads as follow:
# cat /var/sadm/patch/119574-02/log
This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed. This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.
/export/home/richard.cross/updateConnection/patches/119574-02/SUNWcsu/install/checkinstall: /export/home/richard.cross/updateConnection/patches/119574-02/SUNWcsu/install/checkinstall: cannot open
pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully
Dryrun complete.
No changes were made to the system.Where have I gone wrong? I haven't done anything to my system between installing Solaris 10 and downloading SUC, so why is it complaining about an existing patch?

Solved it. Solution is to move all of the patches into /var/spool/pkg and run patchadd on each one in there (in the right order).

Smpatch vs Sun Update Connection

What does Sun Update Connection offer that I
can't get by just using the 'smpatch' tool on Solaris?
Besides telling Sun all about my machine and its
configuration?
There are no screen shots or lists of specific concrete
features on the web site. It's all very abstract, and I
don't have time to download and install it just to figure out
what it is.
--chris

I shouldn't have said "are no screen shots etc" I should have
said "I can't find any...".
Also, I should have compared Update Connection with
"Sun Update Manager" GUI client. That's what I use
now to download and install patches.
Will the Update Connection client give me something different?
Or are these just two competing products from Sun that
do the same thing?
(By the way maybe this should be a FAQ)
