How do I find the latest Critical Sun Solaris Patches on Oracle site

Hello
How do I find the latest critical Solaris Patches available to the users. I was searching the list on Oracle's site it's hard to determine which patch is critcal or not. When I type uname -a this is what returns Generic_142909-17.
Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

Sorry, I wrote "Monthly" when I meant to write "Quarterly". Apologies for the confusion. My bad.
From - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alerts-086861.html
They are released on the Tuesday closest to the 15th day of January, April, July and October. Starting 2011, the scheduled dates for the release of Critical Patch Updates will be on the Tuesday closest to the 17th day of January, April, July and October. The next four dates are:
* 19 April 2011
* 19 July 2011
* 18 October 2011
* 17 January 2012
The CPU for the Solaris Operating System is a rebranded snapshot of the Recommended OS Cluster. The rebranding involves only superficial changes to the patch cluster, with the actual patch content remaining unchanged. The patches contained in this patch cluster are considered the most important and highly recommended patches for Solaris 10. They provide the least amount of change required to address known security, data corruption and availability issues.
If there's a particular CVE Alert which you're vulnerable to or interested in, then the fix will be released within the patch that corresponds to the area of code the vulnerability affects. You can then apply that patch and it's requirements separate to the clusters. Next time you apply the cluster it will either install the latest rev of the patch or skip it if you have the latest installed already.
The Recommended Patch Cluster bundle is a much larger collection of patches and contains all the latest patches (at the time of release) which include Solaris updates, Security, and Sun Alert fixes. Note that we merged "Recommended Patch Cluster/Kernel Jumbo Patchset" and the "Sun Alert Patch Clusters" back in June 2010. See http://blogs.sun.com/patch/entry/merging_the_solaris_recommended_and for more information regarding what happened and why.
Of course there will be a large overlap between the "Recommended OS Cluster" and the "Critical Patch Updates" patchsets will be rolled in to the "Recommended OS Cluster" whenever it's cut and released.
There's a lot of information in the README files for each cluster so you may want to read those to understand the subtle differences.

Steve

  • How to check/find the size of current ROLLBACK segment in oracle 10g

    How to check/find the size of current ROLLBACK segment in oracle 10g ? Kindly help

    A rollback segment name like "_SYSSMU231$" is used when you have Automatic Undo Management enabled.
    The only relevant parameters are :
    1. UNDO_MANAGEMENT=AUTO
    2. UNDO_RETENTION=n minutes ==> this is what everyone should be interested in
    3. The sizes of the Undo Tablespace datafiles and whether AUTOEXTEND is ON or OFF
    No one should be interested in the size of a single undo segment when Automatic Undo Management is enabled.
    Possible causes of ORA-01555 errors in Automatic Undo Management
    a. UNDO_RETENTION is too low
    b. Undo tablespace is too small

  • How Do We Find the Latest Version of a Document without its Path?

    Does anyone know how to find the latest version of a document in iFS when you don't know the path of the document? I'm using a Selector to search iFS based on a search string for the object's title and am not sure how to find the latest version of the returned documents.
    Thanks for any help.

    If you can use the Selector to get the public object then you are in good shape. Once you have the public object recast it to a Family. The method getLatestVersion() will return the public object of the latest version.

  • How to find the latest/greatest full install patch of 11Gr2?

    Hi Folks,
    I just cannot seem to find anything readily in MOS at Oracle...
    I understand that these days, the patches they put out are no longer just fixes to pieces of the database, but for some reason, they are now full blown installs.
    So, rather than download from OTN and install and then have to patch...I'd rather go to MOS and download the patch and install that as my fresh database install.
    My trouble is, I can't find the darned thing looking through the patch area, without knowing the patch number..etc.
    What do ya'll do when wanting to find the latest version for a fresh install?
    A further question..how are ya'll treating this new patch paradigm where they seem to expect you to do fresh installs just to patch up a level? Do you all have the resources to do a new install and migrate over...or do you migrate in place which the documentation seems to warn your off from doing?
    Thanks in advance,
    cayenne

    I feel your pain and really can't offer any advice on that. Searching for patches has been a continual source of frustration for me.

The installer should detect or ask if you are doing a patch and handle the 'upgrade' conversion for you. At least it does when upgrading Grid Infrastructure. I'll find out about databases next week. ;-)

  • How can I find the latest added contacts?

    Hi,
    I'm syncing my Address Book with my Nokia 6233, and it works fine. However, the 6233 has limited contacts memory (500 entries), so I had to create a special group within Address Book which is the one synced to the phone.
    Problem is, whenever I add a new entry IN the phone, and later sync, the entry in question is put in the "All" group, not in the "6233" that I created. If I don't pay attention and remember which entries I put in the phone, and move them to the "6233" group, they are deleted from the phone during the next sync (because they don't belong to the "6233" group, of course).
    My question is: how can I get the list of the latest added entries after a sync? I tried to do a smart group based on the modification/update date (which every entry has), but I can't: Smart Group don't offer a "last modified on" criteria, as iTunes does, for instance.
    Using Spotlight to look for the string "Updated: [date]" (which shows at the bottom right of each entry) did not work either, probably because the data is wrapped by XML code that makes it understable only for Address Book.
    Thanks for any suggestion,
    bat

    Besides getting a phone with more memory, and besides sending thank you notes ("It's been nice knowing you, goodbye forever!"), I can only think of specifying a field to mark the entry on your phone.
    For example, perhaps putting 6223 in the notes. If your phone has a notes field, then that should work. Then the Smart Group in Address Book could search for 6223 in the Notes field.
    As for your Spotlight search of "Update: [date]", I believe that didn't work because what you see in Address Book is just the interface, just some text for your convenience that isn't necessarily stored. In other words, the "Update: " part is just decoration. Nice try, though.
    What I found works when searching for contacts based on modification date outside of Address Book is to use Finder's Find (in the File menu), or Command-F. For the first criteria, you can choose "Kind" and then "Other…" and then "Address Book Person Data". The next criteria can be "Last Modified" to narrow the results down to those which have been modified since a certain date, such as by syncing. I'm not sure how useful that will be for this scenario, though. The contacts will be listed by people's names, at first. Unfortunately, the names will end up becoming the undistinguishable file names being referenced for the search as as you scroll.

  • How can I find the latest version of elements 10

    My computer crashed and I am working off of my laptop and I have purchased Elements 10 a year ago on disk, and I know there have been complete updates to 10 (not 11) and I thought it would have been simple to download 10.whatever instead of 10.0 on my disk first and having it find the automatic update, but not so easy to find,
    Jeff

    There are no updated base installers. You are looking for the unicorn. That's just how it works - you install the original source, then apply the updates.

  • How can i find the latest row inserted in a table

    i have a table with five columns and there is no primary key and everyday 100's of rows will be inserted to this table ,infact by mistake i have inserted a row and i just want to find out which is the last row i have inserted in to this particular table is there any way to find out this please......

    That's not guaranteed to give you the latest row added to the table. Oracle could place new rows anywhere depending on what happened to rows in the table previously, what space is available in the tablespace etc etc:
    SQL> create sequence dt_test_rowid_seq start with 1 increment by 1;
    Sequence created.
    SQL>--generate some test data
    SQL> CREATE TABLE dt_test_rowid as
      2  select     object_id,
      3     object_name,
      4     dt_test_rowid_seq.nextval ins_sequence
      5  from
      6     dba_objects
      7  where
      8     object_id is not null
      9  and
    10     rownum <10000;
    Table created.
    SQL>--here, the latest addition to the table....
    SQL> select max(ins_sequence) from dt_test_rowid;
    MAX(INS_SEQUENCE)
                 9999
    SQL>... reflects the highest rowid
    SQL> select ins_sequence from dt_test_rowid where rowid=(select max(rowid) from dt_test_rowid);
    INS_SEQUENCE
            9999
    SQL>--get rid of a load of rows
    SQL> delete from dt_test_rowid where mod(object_id,2)=0;
    2521 rows deleted.
    SQL>--insert a load more
    SQL> insert into dt_test_rowid
      2  select     object_id,
      3     object_name,

    SQL>--and here the latest addition to the table...
    SQL> select max(ins_sequence) from dt_test_rowid;
    MAX(INS_SEQUENCE)
                10998

  • How can I find the latest update for Firefox 5 without upgrading to Firefox 6.0?

    I had the latest version of Firefox 5 getting automatically upgraded to Firefox 6.0, which disabled my Java 6.022 and 6.023 plugin. Since updating my Java is not an option, because then I can't access my bank account, I uninstalled Firefox 6.0 and installed Firefox 5.0. I quickly cancelled and disabled the auto-update. Now I have no idea if this is the oldest or the latest version of Firefox 5, because the auto-update doesn't let me choose the latest version of Firefox 5 instead of Firefox 6.0. Is there a way to do this manually?

    That are Java Console extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and not the Java plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins).
    You can uninstall and remove Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
    You can also disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions
    * Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)
    See:

  • How can I find the package com.sun.enterprise.naming?

    Where does the following package come from? From which jar file?
    com.sun.enterprise.naming
    I am worling on j2sdk 1.4.2.10 and SUN Application Server 8.1.02.

    You should not use the classes in the package com.sun.xml... directly. Use the XML API (included in the Java SDK since version 1.4); look at the javax.xml package.

    Hi Stephan,
    I wanted to add onto Zeev's precise answer.
    First of all we appreciate your feedback, we will look into why the above mentioned links are not updated as expected.
    Regretfully our SDN page is a bit outdated and we are in the midst of updating it.
    Currently, AccAD 2.2 SP4 as available for download and has already been adopted by some of the main SAP customers and in addition by new customers.
    The release notes indicating the differences can be found as part of the installations but I hope to provide the 2.2 SP4 notes later this week - in a formal SDN announcement.
    Further more as for additional updates:
    - AccAD 2.3 is currently undergoing validation phase and is expected to enter Ramp Up phase in October of 2011.
    - AccAD 2.3 as with every version brings with it new capabilities and increased performance and quality as well as a more up-to-date PAM.
    - We are currently in the planning phase of the next AccAD version to begin development very soon and would be very happy to hear the feedback that you or any other of our customer base may have.  To do so, I encourage you to contact me directly - as i cannot post an email address here - my details can be found in my business card found in this forum.
    - We will be attending and presenting at SAP TechEd Las Vegas and TechEd Sapphire Madrid - we would be happy to meet up in case you will be present.
    All the Best,

  • Where can I find the latest research on Solaris 10, zfs and SANs?

    I know Arul and Christian Bilien have done a lot of writing about storage technologies as they related to Oracle. Where are the latest findings? Obviously there are some exotic configurations that can be implemented to optimizer performance, but is there a set of "best practices" that generally work for "most people"? Is there common advice for folks using Solaris 10 and zfs on SAN hardware (ie, EMC)? Does double-striping have to be configured with meticulous care, or does it work "pretty well" just by taking some rough guesses?
    Thanks much!

    Hello,
    I have a couple of links that I have used:
    http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide
    http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_for_Databases
    These are not exactly new, so you may have encountered them already.
    List of ZFS blogs follows:

    Again, there does not seem to be huge activity on the blogs featured there.

  • How to Find the Latest Version of Cluster Binary Files available at Microsoft website

    How we can find the latest version of Cluster binary files available for download at Microsoft Website and which Cluster Binaries should be update to make the Cluster services stable healthy.

    @AnatolySV : I believe you need to put some efforts to understand what he is asking.
    You may find the latest version of Cluster Binaries by entering the required keywords for Microsoft Failover Clustering. Some of the main Cluster binaries(Keywords) are:-
    Clusres.dll (For Cluster Resources like Disk, Application or Service, Cluster IP)
    Clussvc.exe (Cluster Service)
    TCPIP.sys (If the Storage is presented to the cluster Nodes via ISCSI Network).
    MPIO.sys / ISCSIprt.sys (If we are using Multipathing for the disks to be presented).
    RHS.exe (Resource Host Subsystem)
    So, the Answer to your question is: You need to enter the binary name "Clusres.dll" and mention the Operating System you want to install your binaries to "Windows Server 2008 R2 Sp1" on Bing (Preferred for Microsoft Hotfixes). In Result you will get the
    list of hotfixes for clusres.dll
    You need to try this multiple times in order to get the latest version as Microsoft does not have a single Link.
    Hope this answers your query. Feel free to leave a message incase you need more help.
    Maybe) 
    But hey, you`ve got +1 from me for clarification) 
    Anyway, I still think that the initial question could be more clear and exact. 

Maybe you are looking for
