Are Solaris Patches ONLY available for a fee?

I have tried repeatedly to get Patch Manager for Solaris 9, which we're running on a brand new V240. The application we purchased it for is not yet certified to be binary compatible with SOL 10, so we were forced to go back to SOL9.
SunSolve makes PatchManager and PatchPro available for free download to Solaris 8 users. Update Connection is available to Solaris 10 users. Solaris 9 users seem to be in a position to pay for a service plan to get updates.
We purcased 2 Sun Servers at the same time. The x86 server is running Linux, which we have no trouble getting free updates for, particularly security updates.
I'm thinking that maybe I need to switch our Sun SPARC server to OpenSolaris to get the same kind of benefits we are used to with Linux.
Comments, suggestions, anyone?
Thanks!
John

After being told by many people in these forums that I could get the PatchManager and patches here for free, and going thru much frustration trying, I called the school's local Sun dealer.
The Sun dealer told me that since Sun released Solaris for FREE download, Sun is requiring a support contract to get updates and patches. Basically, the support contracts pay for the "FREE" O/S.
The Sun web pages kept insisting I have a support contract, so what the Sun dealer told me concurs with what I ran into on here.
Thanks for trying to help. I do appreciate it.

  • Why are some songs only available for other countries iTunes Stores

    I have tried to purchase some songs from the French ITunes Store, but I got an alert saying I had to switch over to the US store to do so. I did, but when I searched for the songs in the US store, I could not find them. Why is this so? Is there any way I can get the songs from the French iTunes Store?
    Thanks for the help

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I do live in the US. I assume that it works the same, that Apple doesn't have permission to sell the French songs in the US. Thank you for the quick response.
    Thanks for the help

  • Is it possible that theseproperties are only available for files and not f

    Hello All,
    I have created few properties like ReqNo (takes Integer) and ReqDate (accepts Date). 
    I have set the above 2 properties as manadatory. Created a Group and added his goug in 'allgroups' such that I see a tab wherein I can fill in these properties.
    My questions is:
    <b>Is it possible that these properties are only available for files and not for folders</b>. The reason being that even if I create a new folder, I need to fill some values in the above two mentioned properties.
    These properties need to be mandatory and cannot make them optional.
    Please help me solve this mystery.
    Awaiting Reply.
    Thanks and Warm Regards,

    Hi Ritu,
    If you only want the property to be available for files and not folders you only enter data into the "Document Validity Patterns" field in the Property config.

  • Why are some TV seasons only available for purchase "by episode only"???

    Hello,
    I'm just wonderng why certain seasons of certain shows (most often the first season) are only available for purchase by episode and not the whole season...????

    That content owner in Canada is currently Superchannel.  So you can either pay them $19 per month, or else you can boycott them until they do release SOA to iTunes.  I have opted for the latter.

  • AC:U only available for shipping

    Anyone know why Assassin's Creed: Unity is only available for shipping on both the PS4 and X1 version? I know each store is gonna have like a zillion copies. Why can't I pre-order and select in-store pick up?

    Hi DannyEndurance,
    There are a few reasons why pre-order items on BestBuy.com may not be available for store pickup. In most situations though, this can generally be attributed to the item being an online-only product or all expected inventory having been already allocated to existing orders. While we can't provide any specifics here or details on upcoming product availability, I'd encourage you to keep an eye on BestBuy.com for updates the closer we get to the release date. Remember that you can also pre-order many titles we carry by visiting your local Best Buy store.
    Thanks for your interest in pre-ordering Assassin's Creed: Unity with us!

  • Only Available for Store Pickup

    I have six Xbox 360 Games in my cart that I would love to purchase!  
    Only problem is "Only Available for Store Pickup" and no stores in my area?
    This really seems silly to me and is a missed sales opportunity.
    No one our buying these games and no one probably will.
    These titles have been available now for months...  
    Is there any possible way to simply have them shipped
    to me or my local BB if they must be picked up at a store?
    I would be more then happy to pick them up If I could.
    There must be a way around this, can someone here work their magic.
    Let's figure out how we can make this happen and make a sale!  
    THANKS - 3DK
    3DKillers - Founder of ClaN G!B

    Hi there 3DKillers, 
    How frustrating it would be to get a great selection of several games in your cart only to find they aren't available for store pickup in your area! If they're fairly popular games that we should be getting consistent stock of, it would seem strange that none of them are available in your area. 
    Sadly, if they are only available for store pickup, we would likely be unable to ship them to your home. With that said, if you should like to provide me the name for each game (SKUs would work perfectly) I would be happy to look further into this issue with you!

  • OSD Task Sequence fails with "There are no task sequences available for this computer"

    Let me preface this by saying that I have read at least 100 forum posts with people having similar issues. However, none of the solutions in those
    posts have worked for me.
    The Problem: SCCM 2012 R2 will not image unknown computers.
    The task sequence gives the error "There are no task sequences available for this computer." As soon as that error occurs, SCCM places an Unknown entry into the All Systems collection. I have been imaging unknown computers, without fail, for
    4 months and no environmental changes have been made. NOTE: I am using USB media, not PXE.
    What I've Tried:
    Checked for duplicate SMSBIOS GUIDS in the console, none.
    Checked for duplicate MAC Addresses in the console, none.
    Checked for expired certificates, none.
    Recreated Boot Media, twice.
    Deleted the Unknown entry and retried, SCCM just recreates the Unknown entry.
    Deleted all of my task sequence deployments, and then redeployed them each to All Systems (Only Boot Media and PXE) and to Unknown Systems (Only Boot Media and PXE)
    I have also ran the following in the SQL Server Management Studio;
    SELECT
    * FROM
    ResPolicyMap WHERE
    machineid = 0 and
    PADBID IN
    (SELECT
    PADBID FROM PolicyAssignment
    WHERE BodyHash
    IS NULL)
    No result
    Select
    * From
    vMacAddresses Where
    MacAddresses = '00:00:00:00:00:00'
    This displays an entry for every time that I have tried to image the unknown machine attached to the MAC Address with a different ItemKey and SMS_Unique_Identifier for each entry.
    Added the machine manually using Import Computer Information, immediately recognized the Task Sequences that I have advertised to the All Systems collection.
    Any and all assistance is welcome, I am going on the third straight day of dead ends. Below I have tried my best to post the entire SMSTS Log;

  • Why is siri and panorama only available for iphone4S and later?

    How come Apple made the Siri and panorama only available for iPhones 4S and later? Doesn't it make more sense to include the iPhone 4 too because a lot of people got it too (more than the 4S I think).

    If you want to see the differences between the iPhone 4 and the 4S and later, take a look at this http://www.apple.com/iphone/compare-iphones/
    There are just some things that older model iPhones can't do that newer models can. Apple makes the decisions to improvce upon their devices so that customers can choose which device they want according to their needs. If you want a phone that does something your current one doesn't, look into the Apple Recycling Program to trade in your iPhone for a gift card that you can use to purchase a newer model phone

  • Kindly let me know if there are special discount offers available for IBM employees ?

    Kindly let me know if there are special discount offers available for IBM employees ?

    Many companies have EPP (Employee Purchase Programs) with Apple.  You need to check your benefits programs offerred by IBM.  It will basically be a URL to an EPP login page for the Apple Store.
    NOTE:  I do not think there is any discount on iPhones.
    I have observed that the discounts tend to be around 8% on Pro equipment and 6% on consumer products.  But some items the discounts vary depending on the product.  And in some cases there is no discount.
    Again, check with your IBM benefits.
