Patching 9i on Solaris 10
I've just installed 9i on Solaris 10 without any hitches, but when I go to install the 9206 patch it fails because of Solaris 10. Is there another patch out there for 9i on Solaris 10?
Which solaris 10? SPARC, x86? I assume it's x86, because on SPARC architecture 9.2 is fully supported, but on x86 9i was simply bypassed. 9i base release does not check this, but the later patchsets. You may ignore this, but it's your risk and hopefully this is not a production environment.

Patch Requirements For Solaris 10 x86_64 (10/08)
Hello All;
We are about to begin testing the use of installing SAP Netweaver onto Solaris 10 x86 (10/08). I have seen SAP Note 908334 and it describes use of a prior older version of Solaris 10 x86 (01/06). Can anyone tell me if newer versions of the patches described in this SAP note are included or need to be added later?
Many Thanks
David L. BlackYou can check using
showrev -p | grep <patchnumer>
if the patch is already installed. Most likely this is the case for the version you use so there's no need to update any patches.
However, it's always a good idea to keep the system up-to-date, especially if you plan to use ZFS as filesystem.
I use "pca" to update our systems (http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/) - much easier to handle than "Solaris Update connection" - and fewer problems.

Solaris 8 patches added to Solaris 9 patch cluster and vice versa
Has anyone noticed this? On the Solaris 8 and 9 patch cluster readmes, it shows sol 9 patches have been added to the sol 8 cluster and sol 8 patches have been added to the sol 9 cluster. what's the deal? I haven't found any information about whether or not this is a mistake.
Desiree,
Solaris 9's kernel patch 112233-12 was the last revision for that particular patch number. The individual zipfile became so large that it was subsequently supplanted by 117191-xx and that has also been supplanted when its zipfile became very large, by 118558-xx.
Consequently you will never see any newer version than 112233-12 on that particular patch.
What does <b>uname -a</b> show you for that system?
Solaris 8 SPARC was similarly effected, for 108528, 117000 and 117350 kernel patches.

HOWTO Patch JRE on Solaris 8 on SPARC
Hello, I have been blessed with inheriting a fleet of Solaris 8 boxes which I have to patch for Java/JRE vulrenabilities.
Does anyone know of a HOWTO on how to do that. I just exploded the new JRE version in /usr and changed the link /usr/bin/java to point to /usr/j2res/bin/java. Now when I type java -version, it displays the new version.
However, due to my lack of Solaris knowledge, I am not sure it thats the correct way. I see that there are some coldfusion pricesses that are running on the machine and not sure it they are gradding the right new JRE version.
All you help and advise appreciated.Hi,
Was there any workarounds for this problem?
I am facing the same with Netscape 4.78 & 4.79 on Solaris with Java plugin 1.3.1
Any workarounds/soultions?
I have a Sun Sparc running Solaris 8 Rel 1/01 with JRE
1.3.1 and Netscape 4.78. I set NPX_PLUGIN_PATH to
/usr/j2se/jre/plugin/sparc/ns4:$MOZILLA_HOME/plugins.
When I look at "about:plugins" in Netscape, I see the
"Java (TM) Plug-in 1.3.1" but none of the plugins are
Enabled. Any ideas??? -
Recent changes in patch entitlement for Solaris 10 sparc systems?
Have there been any, especially those which non-contract customers should know about?
I am running Sol 10 u3 sparc on a Sun Blade workstation. Today, I noticed that some patches already installed on my system are now considered private on SunSolve (e.g. 143510-01). Also, kernel patch 142900-04 is private! I've been using SUM to get kernel patches forever (I am at 142900-03). What happened? Hopefully this is just a glitch. I can't believe that kernel patches will be private from now on!
There is a certain Xsun security patch which I have deliberately not installed. For years, it has come up in SUM. Today, for the first time, it is gone.
I am also running Sol 10 u8 on an x86 system. No problem with patches there - all normal. I installed kernel patch 142901-04 on it today. Also without a support contract.
What is going on?Gary,
That is a great idea. I've been wondering about other ways Oracle could handle this issue, such as charging per patch, etc. This issue applies very much to Sun Studio 12.1 (see other recent thread about SS patches in this forum). There is NO WAY I, or the organization I work for, could justify spending $1,000+ per year just for SS patches. $300+/year for OS patches may be doable, but still probably wouldn't be worth it, unless SEVERE security holes are discovered that must be patched immediately, which I have never found to be the case over the last 8 years.
Your idea sounds like an ideal solution, but I fear that it is highly unlikely that Oracle would consider it. That would make some manager look bad in having to change his/her "great plan." Oracle should find some way to differentiate big "enterprise" Solaris users from 1-2 box shops who can't afford these pricey support contracts, but still depend on Solaris. For the last 7 years, public patches and these forums have done the job for me, and I have NEVER had to initiate a service or support call or request. That is testament to the stability of Solaris and the brilliance of its engineers. -
Kernel patch updation for solaris 10 x86
I have Solaris 10 06/06 installed on x86 machine which is using svm and clustered with another node. The kernel revision is 118855-19 from the uname -a output. I am looking for the kernel patch updation and I heard 118855-36 is the latest one. Shall I go ahead with this patch and what r the dependency patches for this.
If anyone done this please guide me..Patch 118855-36 is the latest kernel patch for Solaris 10 on x86 and its dependencies are:
113000-01 117435-02 118344-14 119043-09 119255-14 121264-01 122035-01 123840-01 (or greater)
Whether you should go ahead and install the patch is up to you, if possible try it out on a test box first. For better advice on this matter, I would suggest posting in the Solaris 10 forum as this forum is for the Sun Update Connection, Patch Manager & PatchPro toolsets. -
Kernel patch update for solaris 10 x86
I have Solaris 10 06/06 installed on x86 machine which is using svm and clustered with another node. The kernel revision is 118855-19 from the uname -a output.

If anyone done this please suggest and guide me..For Solaris 10 x86 the latest offered with smpatch is 125101-07 and yes it may be recommended to patch. Then again you said clustered with sun cluster? You may want to check the documentation and if your machines aren't facing the internet you may wait for 7/07 to hit the street and do an upgrade.

Welcome to the OTN forums.
This is your very first post to the forums, so before you go any further, a piece of advice:
When you give your post a title of "Hi All" it does not tell anyone anything about what your inquiry might be.
The topic title that you place onto each one of your posts is just as important as what you place into your post. It tells everyone whether they need to spend any time with it. It tells everyone whether you are worth spending time with, whether you will be able to understand what they type in a reply, how technical they can be in a response.
These are technical forums. They are not chat rooms for casual feel-good gatherings. They are not `blogs`. The site is also NOT a way to make contact to Oracle's technical support staff. The OTN community is from the entire globe and is from end-users that happen to have an interest in the topics you read here.
Spend some time reading the forum FAQ,

OS patches required in Solaris 10 for JDK 1.5
I need to know if there is a set of required Solaris patches required to install jdk 1.5 and what are those?
The documentation does not contain this information, thus it says that all required patches need to be installed.
Thanks,
MariaPatches 118668-14 and 118669-14 were fixes to patches 118668-13 and 118669-13 for change request 6609269 so both sets are for Java 1.5.0_13.
I do not have details on when the 1.5.0_14 patches would be available but would assume soon.
Installing the Java download bundle should not affect Update Connection. -
Steps for Kernel Patch Updation on Solaris 10 X4100 with 2disks mirrored
Hi all,
I have Solaris 10 10/06 (118855-19) installed on one of the X4100 server. This is the time for me to update the latest kernel patch (118855-36). We have two disks mirrored. My questions are,
1) Do i need to detach any of the disk from the mirror before doing any patching.
2) Is it possible to install the patches without detaching any disks from the mirror. (i.e. installeing patch on mirrored root filesystem)
3) how to boot from the second disk in case the patch installation creates problem while booting up.
Any suggestions or steps which you have already implemented for the above scenario.This isn't really a question for this forum, you may be better to look at some of the sys-admin forums for a complete answer.
You should not need to break the mirror in order to apply the kernel patch, however doing so would allow for quicker recovery of the system should something go wrong during patching.
I would strongly advise that you read the special install instructions for the kernel patch prior to installing it.

Patch Manager for Solaris 9 9/05
I am trying to locate the Patch Manager download for Solaris 9 9/05 but all I have been able to locate on the downloads site is the version for Solaris 8. Does anyone have a link to the Solaris 9 version? Thanks.
Exactly, whith that configuration all works well (if my server is connected to Internet).
The problem is when I have another server, not connected to Internet, that requires new patches.
If I have good understood I can install patch manager(2.0) on that server, require patches to my local patch server and if the patches required aren't on the disk the local patch server requires them to Sun. During this request it seems that my local patch server doesn't connect trough the proxy (snoop doesn't report connections). even if the configuration is set. (I have tried a reboot too). -
