Install patches from cd

I am new to solaris
how do i install patches from cd.
I am running solaris 8 and cannot go to sun web site on the sunblade 150 due to old version of netscape, cannot upgrade to mozilla without patches. Please help

Depending on what your CD is, the easiest way is to copy the patches off into /tmp, unzip them and cd to /tmp/<patchdir> (where they were unzipped to) and look for a file called install_cluster and run that. That will be the case if it is a 'Sunsolve CD'. You may need, depending on what patches are included, to bring the server down to single user to install.
If they are just a 'random' bunch of patches then you may have more problems in getting the order in which to install them correct - redoing the patchadd command until all that will install are installed is one, really, REALLY, inelegant way of doing that. Failing that, looking through all the readmes to find out any pre-reqs will be required.

Can I install patches from SAP site?

Dear Friends,
I understand that i need some patches are required for my frountend GUI 6.2 for Business Explore and WAD. Somehow the basis support is not good over here.
1) Is there any place, or better way of searching and how to install them on my PC.. I have got my own OSS id, will this be sufficient?
2) Some training software for new Netweavers 2004s BI are available? is this true if so how to download them?
thanks for your time.
regards,
hari

Hi Hari,
Yes. You can download and install the frontend patches. The one thing you need to be careful is that any query you open with the latest patch would not open on any PC with lower patch level.
You can download the patch using your OSS account. The link is:
http://service.sap.com/swdc -> Entry by Application Group -> SAP Netweaver -> ......

The StarOffice patches are most likely being recommended as there are one or more SUNWstaroffice packages installed on the system, but the patch installation cannot complete due to an incomplete installation of StarOffice. Check for any installed StarOffice packages and remove them if present:

Smpatch update ALERT: Failed to install patch

I do not even know where to start. Since installing Solaris 10 0606 it
seems every time I try to patch the system I get failures of one type
or another. One problem today has to do with zones:
"To install the new instance of this package in all zones you must
first remove the existing instance of this package from the global
zone first (via pkgrm) and then install the new instance of this
package in all zones."
If sun already knows a pkgrm must be run why can't the smpatch command
just do it?
Another problem seems to be
For patch 121018-03, required patch 120759-04 does not exist
If sun knows a patch is required which is not on the system just Getit
and install it.
Also, what is up with having to reboot the box to install patches?
Why? Has this always been a required step? Do these reboots pertain only to kernel patches .etc?
I have seen other postings in this forum expressing unhappiness with
the patch system, some mentioning testing lab/group or certification
issues. I think smpatch should have an option to send smpatch results
back to sun for review. That way the Certification Group could have
real life situations to investigate. Or do they know the problems
already and just dont want to fix them? Just once I would love it if
smpatch came back with no failures and I was assured the system was
patched, up to date and secure.

Enterprise users have strict policies on change management so dependent patches are not automatically installed when using "smpatch add". Neither are packages blithly uninstalled for zones if currently only existing in the global zone.
For your needs using "smpatch update" should analyse, download and install dependant patches in order for patches specified on the command line or for a global update. Note that that is with the exception of patches not matching the currently defined patch policy such as those needing a reboot. See the smpatch man page for information on policies.
Patches requiring reboots or being installed in single user mode are primarily for kernel and driver patches.
Your problems installing the Sun Studio 11 patches have been encountered previously in regards to globally installed packages (and are covered in this forum) and is due to a combination of bug ID's 6337009, 6214678 and 6374972 for the patching utilities of which the last is still open.
You will currently have to manually install the patches using patchadd with the "-G" flag whilst in the global zone to install them in the global zone only.

Unable to download patches from analyze result

This morning I tried to download a list of patches returned by smpatch analyze but most of them errored out with the error patch not found. Is there a problem with the patch database server?

i believe this is a side effect of patch 119108-03 look at the patch details. i'm not sure myself how to resolve this issue. and i've got the problem now on 2 Sun v40z and a W2100z. here's the relevant information hopefully someone is watching this list!

Script for installing patches manually from a folder

Dear Team,
Due to some restrictions, i need to execute each patch by double clicking on it.
Request someone to help me to find a script which can look in side folder and install the patches inside and ask for reboot at end.
It should also write status of patches installed or not in to a log file.
Thanks
Rama

These are MS Windows patches, say for server 2012.
this is a simple batch file am using for monthly patches. But now there are servers in staging area of DC which are required to patch with all missing patches from last 1year or so. We got all the patches in to a folder, and need to run against each server.

Error trying to install patch 8.1.7..2 in a server that also contains a 91 client

Hello.
I am trying to install a patch in a 8.1.7 server, that also contains a 9i client, the universal installer fails with a "Error. Not need to install products from patch 8.1.7.2.5".
When I see the installes software list, I can see the 9i client software that I installed after the 8.1.7 server.
Thanks in advance.

I did a search prior to post this issue and I knew about patch 8.1.7.1.1
But on the other hand I try to follow the latest documentation on the release I am working.
So, it means patch 8.1.7.2.2 does not exist and it is a mistake in P309msgs.pdf , correct?
I am starting to have doubts about the credibility of Oracle documentation....

[SOLVED] Enabling debug for ath9k in compat-drivers-patched from AUR

Wireless card: TP-LINK TL-WN951N. lspci says that it is an Atheros AR5416 adapter [AR5008].
Some background: I'm having the same issues as the OP in this thread, which references this bug report. The problem is that I get a 2000 ms ping every 30 seconds. So 2 seconds of inactivity every 30 seconds. I have the same wireless PCI card, as well. I need to fix this, because it's making online gaming impossible. I should also note that the card is working just fine in Windows 8, however. I am using net-auto-wireless. I have tried using wicd, enabling ath9k's nohwcrypt option, toggling the card's power save, installing the latest compat-drivers-patched from the AUR, toggling different settings in my motherboard's BIOS, and removing the antennae from the card. But nothing has made a significant difference.
I think I'm really close now. I just have to disable ANI. But in order to do that, it seems that I need to enable debugging for ath9k. But this means that I need to either recompile a custom kernel, or somehow enable debug for ath9k in compat-drivers-patched from the AUR. I'd prefer the latter, as that means that I will have a more bleeding-edge driver. That, and I won't have to touch the kernel as much. What I want is described on this page. But it seems too complicated to me. Please let me explain.
I've installed things from the AUR before, as mentioned above, and have properly configured my makepkg.conf for my system. So I'd like to use the CFLAGS and such that I've set. I don't understand how everything works in the PKGBUILD; I don't have much experience with sed and awk and regular expressions, and haven't done much shell scripting at all. It seems that at some point in the PKGBUILD, I need to enable debugging for ath9k before it is compiled. Apparently on the last page I linked to, I need to add:
export CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG=y
export CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUG=y
export CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS=y
to some config.mk file. I can only get access to the config.mk file after I install the package with pacman. I've tried adding those lines to my /etc/profile file, and checked, after a reboot, with "set", that those variables are indeed set. But the thing is, with these variables set in /etc/profile, when I run makepkg, makepkg fails with an error 2. I tried again and got the same error. I removed those lines from my /etc/profile, rebooted, tried makepkg again, and everything worked. So putting those lines in my /etc/profile is not the solution, and I feel like I'm doing something very stupid. What am I doing wrong?
I should also note that I've tried to read the wiki page on compiling a custom kernel using ABS, but it seems to just say "get your custom configuration files" and then just continue (so it assumes that I should already be familiar with the configuration part). The PKGBUILD and Creating Packages wiki pages also seem to be a little... too advanced for me at this point in time.
So how do I enable debugging for ath9k in compat-drivers-patched from the AUR? I'd prefer to stick with only editing the PKGBUILD and using makepkg, if possible.
I've really tried to search the web and the arch forums on how to fix this problem myself, but alas, it seems that I need help this time. I greatly appreciate your time for reading my long post.
UPDATE:
I've made a lot of progress. I ended up removing the AUR package with pacman by invoking "pacman -Rsn compat-drivers-patched".
Instructions for [almost] success: First, download compat-drivers-patched from AUR. Then move it to the "builds" directory (or "local", if using ABS). Extract the tarball. After the new directory is created, cd into it. Now here's the important part: run
$ makepkg -so
Then cd into src, cd into the directory inside src, then edit the config.mk file. Make sure these lines are uncommented (or created, if not already there):
export CONFIG_CFG80211_DEBUGFS=y
export CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS=y
export CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG=y
export CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUG=y
export CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS=y
(source)
Now run "cd ../.." to go back up two directories. Now run:
$ makepkg -e
# pacman -U <file that was produced>
And I ran "mkinitcpio -p linux" just in case, but I'm not sure if that is necessary at all. I'm... not touching the kernel, right?
Now I ran:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/disable_ani
But bash would say that the file or directory doesn't exist. Even if I prepend it with "sudo", I get the same results. I was only able to get the command to work if I logged in as root. I even put the line in my /etc/profile. The 2000 ms ping every 30 seconds is now GONE. HOWEVER! If I reboot and log in as a normal user, the problem is there again. If I reboot and log in as root, the problem is gone. If I then log out and then log back in as a normal user, the problem does not come back.
So really, I can avoid the problem if I first log in as root, log out, and then log back in as a normal user. But this is a great inconvenience. I would much prefer if I could just log in as a normal user right after boot, and have everything working.
Now, how do I get the command to automatically run at boot as root (without me having to log in as root), and work?
UPDATE 2:
I got it working. Putting the line in /etc/profile is not the solution. I created a custom systemd .service file.
Put this into /etc/systemd/service (name it "disable_ani.service"):
EDIT: Wow. I made a glaring typo here. It should be /etc/systemd/system/disable_ani.service
[Unit]
Description=disable_ani
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/disable_ani"
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then make sure to "sudo chmod 755 /etc/systemd/service/disable_ani.service", since root owns this file.
Then run "sudo systemctl enable disable_ani.service".
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that there is a much simpler way than creating a custom service.
Using a tmpfile:
/etc/tmpfiles.d/disable_ani.conf
w /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/disable_ani - - - - 1
Done.
Now ANI is persistently disabled between boots, even if I log in as a normal user right after boot.
Thanks for reading.

So zsh is telling you that the command didn't work, since it claims that there is no such file or directory. I had a lot of trouble with getting the echo command to work, as well. I found that if out of these lines:
export CONFIG_CFG80211_DEBUGFS=y
export CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS=y
export CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG=y
export CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUG=y
export CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS=y
If the first and second line above were not uncommented in the config.mk file, I couldn't leave the last line above uncommented as well, or else makepkg would fail and give me an error. So originally I had only the 3rd and 4th lines above uncommented/inserted in my config.mk. With that configuration, I could not get the echo command to work, no matter what. Have you uncommented or inserted all of the above 5 lines into your config.mk?
After making sure all of the above 5 lines were in my config.mk, the echo command still didn't work, even if I preceded the command with sudo, or entered a su session. Bash would tell me that there was no such file or directory. I found that if I actually logged out of my normal user, and then logged back into the computer as root, the command would work. If your shell does not give you any feedback (particularly, "no such file or directory"), then the command worked. In order to get the command to run every time the computer boots, I used a systemd service, so that the command is issued as root. For some reason, it doesn't work if you put the command into /etc/profile.
Oh, and it would probably be helpful to mention that for the compat-drivers-patched package from the AUR, the PKGBUILD checks to see what your _selected_drivers variable is before compilation. If you set _selected_drivers=ath9k, your compile times will be much shorter.

Updatemanager java.null.pointer exception in installing patches !

Hey,
I started Updatemanager and get 8 patches to be installed on my system. When I click: Install 8 items now I get an exception from updatemanager:
Updating the local cache complete.
inside AvailablePanel.applyUpdateCollection()
updateCollection: Current Available Updates
updateCollection.getUpdates().length: 8
mouse clicked at column index: 0
java.lang.NullPointerException

and the installation process is stall. Nothing happens for hours so I have to manually kill the client, updatemanager. Every time I try I get this error which makes for me impossible to install patches !
anyone any ideas what's going on ? I'm running Solaris 10 GA.
thank you,
stefan

This issue should now be resolved. If you are using the Update Manager you will first need to manually update your analysis (click "Check for Updates") which will clear out the bad patch meta data causing the problem. You then should be able to use UM to install updates as intended.
thanks for your patience

11.2.0.3.0 Required Postinstallation Tasks: Downloading and Installing Patches

I installed 11.2.0.3.0 on AIX 7.1. The postinstallation tasks begin with downloading and installing patches. I am not sure which patches or PSU to install. Following the directions in the installation guide, I go to My Oracle Support, then to Patches and Updates and specify Oracle Database and IBM AIX 64-bit. For "release" do I select 11.2.0.3.0, or do I select the seven releases from 11.2.0.3.0 - 11.2.0.3.6? If I select all seven the search returns 1293 patches. The instructions are obviously not telling me to download and apply all 1293 patches. I next searched for the most recent PSU and see that PSU 11.2.0.3.6 was published on April 17, 2013. What is the right thing to apply? Should I download only PSU 11.2.0.3.6 and apply that, or should I do something else not described here?
Thanks,
Bill

You should apply the latest 11.2.0.3 PSU (currently 11.2.0.3.6) - you do not have to apply all of the one-off patches

Question install patch Solaris 8

Haai,
I have to install Solaris 8 on a ProLiant DL 140 server ( http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/index-dl.html )... It must be Solaris 7 or 8 because spectrum dont support higher versions of Solaris... When I boot from cdrom, I get the message that Solaris 8 dont have support for disks larger then 40 Gig. I have searched for that problem and the solution is to install a patch with de Device Configuration Assistant (=DCA) but that DCA gives the following problem on my screen
SunOS Secondary Boot version 3.00
prom_panic: Could not mount filesystem
Entering boot debugger:
[12ff05]:
After searching a solution for that problem, I get the following information:
The bug is fixed by applying the Patches 108822-02 / 110930-01. 110930-01 contains a replacement DCA boot floppy, while 108822-02 is just the fixed boot.bin binary for an already installed system.
Installing the 110930-01 patch was no problem but I dont understand how I can install the 10822-02 patch. Can someone give me a simple explanation how I can do that? I have made the bootable floppy on a working Solaris machine.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
