Lagacy Patch Clusters or Patches

I am looking for patches for Solaris 2.5 and 2.6, are patch clusters available for these versions?
Regards,
Brian Borders

I don't think the order matters, although personally, I would do the Recommended cluster first.
A lot of the patches in the J2SE cluster are also included in the Recommended, so you'll see some "error 2" messages when running the second cluster.
You can check the README files for both. They list the pacthes each cluster has.

How can I do "pkgupdate" and/or create private patch clusters?

I hope this is the right forum for this post :)
I maintain a number of Solaris 8-10 systems which are automated by my scripts
(i.e. for dumping data to a backup server, watchdog the services, start up portal
services, etc.)
Long ago I made my life easier by creating such scripts; then I made it easier by
packaging these scripts into thematic Solaris packages (as in pkgadd/pkgrm).
Since this concerns maintaining older systems, references to the new OpenSolaris
Indiana Packaging System are not interesting.
Now I want to simplify maintenance and update of such packages by building a
patch cluster of them. In short, there should be one archive to copy to all these
servers and one command to run (i.e. patchadd), and it should reinstall only(!)
those of my script packages which are already installed.
An interim solution would be to come up with a sort of "pkgupdate" utility which
REinstalls only the existing package instances which are older than the one I
currently provide (perhaps someone can share a pkgadd admin file with options
to force such behavior?)
I guess I can script up another solution for this automation as well, but I wonder
if this wheel is already invented? It actually is, with the Sun-provided patch clusters
proving that, but I've not seen any tools to create such clusters myself :)
This is particularly important while maintaining a Solaris 10 system with lots of
Solaris zones. Having different tasks, these zones are configured with different
sets of my packages. Simply running pkgrm/pkgadd in the global zone would
result in all zones having all of these packages, and I don't want that since I
believe in specialization and minimization. And checking each zone is rather
tedious, there's lots of them.
Looking forward to constructive suggestions,
//Jim

Can you expand on that? How do you use automator in your game? Can you give me a rough idea of how and what you do with it? I have watched a tutorial on Automator and it seems more useful for documents.

Recommended Patch Clusters and Zones

Good Afternoon,
Ran into a problem earlier this week and wanted to get other views on this. Our current configuration is as followed:
Global zone installed on Local Disk (ZFS)
5 - Non-global whole root zones installed on SAN disk (ZFS)
No Live Upgrade (Will eventually get to this)
Never have had any problems until I attempted to install the latest Patch Cluster because of Comms Suite 7. I shutdown all of the non-global zones and shutdown the Global zone to init S. I then started my Patch Cluster install. The Patch Cluster appears to start all of the zones up in an Administrative Mode for patching. The problem was that when it go to the kernel patch, 141414-10, it appeared to install in the Global but none of the non-global zones were updated. The Patch then stopped on 141414-10 (Patch 109 of 155). I did finally get the patch cluster to install after some work and a support call.
My question is this the proper way to install the Patch Clusters? I've been told that you have to "mount" the zones manually but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of being single-user?
Any help is appreciated.
Doug

I tend to use LU to create a new BE and then patch that. Then activate the new BE and reboot.
Saves a lot of pain and gives a safe fall back option.

Understanding Patch Clusters

I'm wondering if anyone has looked at the various patch clusters available on Sunsolve in detail:
e.g. For Solaris 10 SPARC there's the following:
     Solaris 10 SPARC 05/08 Patch Bundle Chunk 1/2/3
     Solaris 10 Sun Alert Patch Cluster
     Solaris 10
The first one supposedly brings you up to date as per the 05/08 media. It's the other two I'm puzzled about. The latter one is the "recommended" patch cluster and the definition of this is almost exactly the same as the definition for the Sun Alert Patch Cluster - and I believe there is a possiibility that these may be combined in future?
Anyway, digging deeper - the 2 clusters each have 119 patches included, and the only difference I can see is that despite both clusters being dated Sep 2008, the Recommended cluster has latest revisions of each patch whereas the Sun Alert one has many which are many revisions obsoleted (cf 118712-22 vs 118712-08).
This is backed up by the fact that the Sun Alert cluster is considerably smaller that the recommended one.
Anyone understand why there are these discrepanices?
Regards,
GXW

Thanks. That's a lot clearer now - so they do contain the same patches - the alert bundle contains the minimum level of each patch which fixes a know alert - and the recommended bundle contains the highest available versions of those patches.
Can I ask a follow-up question? If I do a "smpatch update" with my patchpro.patchset set to "current", which of the 3 patch bundles listed in my original post does this equate to?

Does patch clusters contain all old patches?

Suppose I have a system installed long ago, that has never been patched. If I install only the latest recommended and security patch cluster, will I then get all recommended and security patches?
Or will there be recommended and security patches missing because I have failed to install earlier patch clusters?
/Lars

Hello Lars,
This forum is for the support of the Sun Update Connection product only. As such we are not the correct forum for questions of this type.
However if you install the latest patch cluster this will contain all the most recent security patches, which will either include or obselete the previous patches.
Regards,

Where are older Recommended Patch Clusters located?

My project is spec'd to use the June 2009 Recommended Patch Cluster release, but I can't find the previous patch cluster releases. Is there anywhere on the Sun site that I can find the older patch clusters?

I ended up calling out Sun support, and after about a week he got back with us and said that although usually such a patch is available on a DVD he recieves every month, the June 2009 DVD was pulled due to "quality issues". Thank you both for your support.

Patch Manager lists patches i already installed... help!

Update Manager is still showing 173 patches which i already installed on May 20th.
The "Installed Patches" section is showing 0 patches.
I am Running Solaris 10 on x86 Dual Xeon
Once all the patches were applied I linked 2 folders off to *{color:#0000ff}/export/home{color}* to save space on the root drive...
but as far as i was aware this should not make a difference.
Below you can see my {color:#0000ff}*/var/sadm*{color} folder

In the Update Manager, the spool directory is{color:#0000ff} */export/home/patches*{color}, there are no patches in here. I cleaned them out.
When i attempt to install an already installed patch, it fails (which is good) but doesn't remove the patch from the list.
Has anyone any ideas how i can get Update Manager back to normal?

Patches Uninstall on patch bundle unassign - by design?

Hi,
Recently we began testing ZCM 10.3.3 for deploying Microsoft patches to our Windows XP desktops. We have come across
a situation that whilst after some investigation looks like it might be operating as designed, we think is perhaps
the result of an over sight in how the product works. I thought I would post the scenario here to see if anyone else
had come across this and if so, what your thoughts on it might be. I am tempted to log a SR, but this might be a well
known occurrence?
Essentially what happened was that we created a patch bundle and assigned it to a device group that contained test
machines. The patch deployment went as expected with no issues observed or reported. A week later I removed the
relationship between the patch bundle and the test device group. Immediately (on next device refresh) the machines in
the test device group began to uninstall the patches in the patch bundle that had just been "unassigned". In
addition, interactive "remediate.exe" errors were thrown in any active user sessions on those machines. The errors
seemed to be related to patches that werent technically able to be uninstalled anyway.
Initially we were a little stumped by this as the ZPM patch bundle was not enabled for Uninstall, however looking at
the bundle a little closer we noticed that the actual individual patch bundles being referenced in the install action
DID have Uninstall enabled - if fact it appeared that every patch was enabled for uninstall - even those that werent
technically able to be uninstalled.
When considering this in conjunction with our global ZEnworks Explorer Configuration to Uninstall unassigned bundles
after 0 days, things started to make a little more sense - but I'm not sure this is how it should actually work.
To make a long story short, I personally dont think that the global Zenworks Explorer Configuration to uninstall
unassigned bundles after a certain amount of days should apply to patch bundles, or at least patch bundles should be
able to be excluded from this. We have this setting set to 0 days so that when we unassign licensed applications,
they are immediately removed from the desktops they have been deployed to - this is to ensure we are confident of our
licensing position in terms of how many copies of a application we may be licensed for and how many we actually have
installed in our fleet.
The implication of this situation is that for us, every time we deploy a patch, we need to maintain the assignment between
the patch and the device. On the face of it, this doesnt seem like a viable long term solution for a whole host of
reasons.
So out of this I have a couple of questions:
1. Has anyone else come across this, and if so, a) do you think this is a reasonable way for the product to be
operating, and b) how have you worked with (or around) it.
2. Is it possible to disable uninstall for the individual patch bundles that ZPM creates, or will ZPM simply "fix"
them?
I'd be very interested in peoples thoughts on this.
Cheers,

Hi Shaun,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, the "Ignore chained dependencies" box is checked on the individual patch bundles and "uninstall" is disabled for the parent patch bundle itself. Do you think this sounds like a bug? If thats the case, I'll definitely open an SR for it.
Cheers,

Updating LM-Tools SP07 Patch 0 to Patch 2

Dear all,
I want to update the LM-Tools for a Netweaver EHP2 from SP07 Patch 0 to Patch 2 but I can´t generate the correct stack.xml file.
When I generate the file in the solution manager the system generates me a stack.xml for Patch 0 not for Patch 2.

Hi,
If you want to apply only LM tool patch. You can download it from OSS and apply using jspm single patch.
No stak file is required.

Hi Susan,
2 possible solutions:
1. as root user, "chmod -R 777 /tmp" and retry start CRSdon't set it to 777 as it would lead to a security nightmare.
the problem is indeed a permission problem. the script tries to write to the file as user oracle and to remove it afterwards. the error message is from the removal.
check, if oracle user can create files in /tmp and if not fix it by setting the proper permissions which are 1777 (drwxrwxrwt).

Interim patch vs database patch

Hi,
I want to know the exact difference between Interim patch and database patches.
First of all my understanding is that ,Database patches are applied for some ORA-related errorrs as suggested by document id.where as interim patches are applied on ORA_HOME.
plz correct me if i am wrong?and give me complete details about them.
Also i want to know,is there any database patch for ORA-1555 error?
Thnx

plz correct me if i am wrong?and give me complete details about them.All patches are applied on binaries i.e. ORACLE_HOME and some patches also have some scripts to be run to update data dictionaries.
For interim patch explanation please refer to MOS :
Oracle Data Server Interim Patch Installation (OPatch) [ID 189489.1]
Also i want to know,is there any database patch for ORA-1555 error?ORA-155 occurs due to undo tablespace.
check MOS note :

Newbie Question: - Which Patch Sets/Interim Patches to install?

We have 6 Oracle 10.2.3.0 Databases (AIX5.3 64bit) including a 10.2.3.0 Grid Db, Now I have stated to investigate the possibility of patching our new Db/Infrastructure using GRID patching wizard (Deployment > Patch Oracle Software) . The question I have it what patches will I install? All of them? to all Db ? How do I know which to install and which ones not to install?
When I run the Patch Oracle Software wizard, It queries my metal ink account and pulls back around 460 patches?
If anybody could help or provide a link to some more information it would be a great help.

CPU patches have the interim patches in them, so no need to do them individually.
I suspect that the patches to apply isn't the issue here; rather, the TESTING you need to do, so as not to introduce nasty stuff by accident. e.g. a new tweak to the CBO/whatever in a CPU may suddenly make lots of your important queries behave strangely. Always patch your test system first, and spend real time ensuring that nothing bizarre has happened to your system. It's always a panic-inducing time uninstalling patches, so get it right up-front.

Critical Patch update vs Patch Bundle

Our servers runs on sun solaris sparc 64 bit and oracle 11.1.0.7 with CPUAPR2009 patches. We found the latest patch bundle 8658581.8 would resolve many of our issues.
I need to know whether the patch bundle would be bundled with the CPU patches since the patch bundle was released after the CPU patches and I have also read a document which says
Are Recommended Patches Cumulative ?
Yes, Recommended Patches are cumulative for a given target configuration. The latest Recommended Patches for a given target configuration will contain all fixes included in the previous ones.
This patch bundle is a recommended patches.
Please help me in resolving the patches to apply. And please provide me more clarity on Thanks
Regards,
Ilan

Hi Ilan,
I'm not sure if you received the answer you were seeking elsewhere.
As you may know, the n-Apply Critical Patch Updates (CPU's) are released on a quarterly basis and are cumulative in nature. The CPUs are released to address security vulnerabilities, primarily. At the time of their release, they each contain groupings of security fixes (called molecules). Each of these molecules contain multiple related patches and the molecules can be applied independently of one another.
Now, that being said - there is a chance that Oracle could release interim (i.e. one-off) patches, merge patches, and patch bundles in between CPU releases and in between patchset releases. The fixes provided in these interim patches, merge patches, and patch bundles should also be included in subsequent CPU releases (if they address security vulnerabilities) and in subsequent patchset releases (if you're not already on the terminal patchset release for your version).
As for the CPU releases: prior to the patch installation, the following checks are performed for each molecule patch being installed:
- Conflicts (patch to be installed contains modules which conflict with existing patch in the Oracle Home)
- Subsets (patch to be installed is a subset of an existing patch in the Oracle Home)
- Duplicates (patch to be installed is the same as an existing patch in the Oracle Home)
If you encounter a situation where the particular patch to be installed is in conflict with one or more other patches which have previously been applied to the same Oracle Home, then you will need to file a Service Request with Oracle Global Customer Support to request a merge patch to merge the conflicting patches together into one individual patch.
If the particular patch to be installed is a subset or duplicate of an existing patch in the Oracle Home, then there is no need for the patch to be applied to the Oracle Home as the fix it contains already exists there. For this reason, the CPU installation instructions from the README.html direct you to run OPatch with the -skip_subset and -skip_duplicate options to skip attempting to apply any patches that are subset or duplicate of existing patches in the Oracle Home. See the README.html file from the most recent CPU (July - 8534387) for complete details about the CPU, including what molecules of fixes it contains.
I hope this information helps clarify things for you rather than confuse you further. Keep in mind I am responding with a general answer which should address your question. I have not reviewed 8658581 specifically to see what this patch addresses.
