Solaris 8 wrong patches?

Hi,
there are 2 patches that don't install on my system :
118097-05 SunOS 5.8: bug fixes for cdrw 1.1
115951-03 Netra ct OBP update for SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-Netract
For sure it's because the concerning packages are not installed. But why am I offered these patches? On another Solaris 8 machine with the same patch settings the patches are not installed and also not downloaded or named in smpatch analyze output.
What's wrong?
system information:
SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-53 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000

Solaris 10 patch clusters

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I didn't see a better/more relevant spot for it.
Is there a way to download the Solaris 10 without having a SunSolve account? When I tried to download it I get redirected to a login/register page which requires a SunSolve support contract.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
-Will

Hello Will,
To download a Solaris 10 patch cluster a service contract is required. There are no alternate sources !
Individual patches that fix security issues or patches required by these (security) patches are available for free.

Changes in Solaris 10 Patch Access Policy

Solaris 10 x86 User Community
As of November 29th, Sun will be changing its Solaris 10 patch access policy. Now that Solaris 10 is freely available, support services require the purchase of a Sun Service Plan.
Under this new policy, access to patches is restricted. Security fixes and hardware driver updates are publicly available for free, but access to all other patches requires a Sun Service Plan.
Please see http://www.sun.com/service/sunconnection/solaris10patches.html for available access options.
Please send any questions to [email protected]

hi,
As a technical specialist I can understand everyone needs revenues to keep on going. But $120 for a min. level service plan it's really foolish on the policy makers. This would result in severe dent for the Solaris initiative itself in the long run. There should be reasonable pricing model, especially when Sun is projecting Solaris as an alternative to Linux! I do strongly suggest as a loyal Sun developer since 1996 to re-consider the service plan rates.
thanks,
Su37

Solaris 10 - patch for new DST 2007 changes

I am trying to track down the one patch I need for the new standard for daylight savings time date changes that took effect in 2007. Each time I get one patch and read the readme file, it tells me I need another patch for the U.S. Energy Policy Act for 2005. I am just about to install Solaris 10 patch 119689-07. I don't need any other patch updates, just the bare minimum new DST patch. Thanks for your help.

119689-07 is obsoleted by 118836. http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-119689-07-1
118836-36 is latest rev of this patch -- the kernel patch, whic has latest timezone data for the OS
You'll need to make sure java has latest tz data, too:
http://java.sun.com/javase/timezones/
As far as I know, these are the bare minimums for a system to function properly re: latest DST schedule

Recommended Solaris 10 patches are not available at 9:00am EDT

I tried patching around 8:45am to 9:00am EDT. I could not install the easy Solaris 10 patches for:
120094-20
122239-02
137021-02
138315-01
139421-01
The updatemanager/smpatch messages mentioned that it could not find the patch. I suspect either that the patching server has not posted the patches yet or it is not fully up. I am sure that Sun is working on it.

Solaris 10 Patches

Have Solaris 8 not on maint. We are upgrading to Solars 10 and want to purchase OS maint. Does Solaris 10 OS maint give us access to Solaris 8 patches as well as Solaris 10 Patches.

Filetransfer Slow after applying Solaris 8 Patch

Hi,
I have applied Solaris 8 Patches on SUNF V240 to upgrade from SunOS 5.8 Generic_117250-22 TO SunOS DSSPDAPPSGO2 5.8 Generic_117350-33.
After applying the patch, the filetransfer between the SUNFV240 & my IBM AIX (Version 5.3 ML09) becomes very slow. (eg. 70 MB file need abt 20-30 min to complete.
Before the PATCH, it only need less than a minute.
These 2 servers are connected via a network hub, and set to 100 Full Duplex on the server end.
Has anyone know what cause this & what is the solution. Thanks
regards,

Yes, I have made the 100 full duplex on both servers (Solaris & AIX), but still does not solved the problem.
The only thing I can't change is the setting at the Hub (DIGI MIL-H3130 ) which connect both servers, because the HUB is autosensing, and looking at the documentation there is no mention to set (fix) 100 Fullduplex on this hub.
If I bypass this Hub, and use UTP crosscable to connect the two servers, then it is OK.
I have tried to use another DIGI MIL-H3130 hub, also face the same problem.
I just wondering which particular patch causing this problem in Solaris, and whether is there any solution for this.

What is the latest Solaris 8 Patch Cluster available?

Currently I'm using SunOS Release 5.8 Kernel Version Generic_108528-29. Is this latest kernel version available on Solaris 8?

Latest Solaris 8 Patch Bundle is available here:
[SunSolve Patch Access|http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patches/patch-access]
Edited by: SolarisSAinPA on May 20, 2008 12:21 PM
Also, you can look up the patch id ( 108528-29 ) for kernel to see if it's latest (it won't be obsoleted)

Solaris package patch creation

I am looking for documentation or procedure regarding Solaris package patch creation.
I have created Solaris packages for an ISV application. Now I'd like to create a Solaris
patch to replace one of those package's binaries - where if the patch is backed out, the
previous binary is restored.
I have read the Sun Application Packaging Developer's Guide (both 1994 and current),
and the subsection on Patching Packages does not contain sufficient information to
accomplish my goal. I have searched the Net for information, and found other's
questions and few answers.
Can anyone produce the procedure for Solaris package patch creation?
Thank you.

Here is why no info is available. Sun advises:
"We cannot make patch building utility publicly available irrespective of the customer having support contract. We suggest you to provide an updated package instead of patches to your customer and tell them to remove the old version and add the new version of the package."

Static library not accessed properly after Solaris Kernel patch update !

Hi,
We are facing a sever issue in our application after our customer updated the Solaris 10 kernel patch u9 to u10.
We have two static libraries libdlib.a and libDLIB.a, with exactly same code base, but these two libraries are scattered across the code base and linked by many shared objects in our application.
However, one of the shared objects that links to "libdlib.a" library tries to access a function from "libDLIB.a". This behavior is causing a crash at a later point, since that shared object is supposed to access the function from "libdlib.a". Moreover, we found this is happening through the use of dbx.
I'm unable to understand why this problem surfaced after kernel patch update, though still the shared object works fine on Solaris 10 u9 patch.
Flow is something like this :
1. syslogrecorder.so gets loaded by one of the processes.
2. syslogrecorder.so is linked to "libdlib.a" at compile time, so it uses "libdlib.a" function DLIB_LoadLibrary and gets a handle to all the function pointers of the loaded library ( The purpose of DLIB_LoadLibrary is to load a shared library dynamically using dlopen )
3. syslogrecorder.so tries to do a "dlsym" and to do that it needs access to the library handle which we got in previous call DLIB_LoadLibrary. So syslogrecorder.so calls another function from DLIB_ProcAddress, which actually gives back the access to the loaded shared library.
Here is a catch in step 3, it is supposed to call DLIB_ProcAddress from the libdlib.a but as we observed from dbx output it does so by calling DLIB_ProcAddress from libDLIB.a and hence fails to give back the access to loaded shared library, causing crash at a later point in code.
Can someone put some light here that why this could happen ??
Thanks
Kuldeep

To clarify: You did not modify or rebuild any of your binaries, but after installing a kernel patch, the application stopped working. Most likely, something about your application depended on a accidental behavior of the runtime loader. That accidental behavior changed due to the patch, and your application failed.
For example, if there is a circular dependency among shared libraries, the loader will break the cycle at an arbitrary point to establish an initialization order. By accident, that order might work, in the sense of not causing a problem. A change to the loader could cause the cycle to be broken at a different point, and the resulting initialization order could cause a now-uninitialized object to be accessed. I'm not saying this is what is wrong, but this is an example of a dependency on accidental loader behavior.
Finding your actual problem will require tracing the sequence of operations leading up to the failure. You are more likely to find help in a Solaris linker forum. AFAIK, there are currently no Oracle forums for Solaris, and the old OpenSolaris forums have been converted to mailing lists. You can try the "tools-linking" list found on this page:
http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo
I also suggest you review the paper on best practices for using shared libraries written by Darryl Gove and myself:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/linkinglibraries-396782.html
If you have a service contract with Oracle, you can use your support channel to get more help.

DS5.2p3 idsktune && Solaris 10 patches

When running /usr/ds/v5.2/bin/slapd/server/idsktune on a Solaris 10 3/05 SPARC server, the only WARNING I get is about patches 113886-27 and 113887-27 as shown here:
# ./idsktune
Sun Java Enterprise System platform tuning analysis version 18-OCT-2004.
Copyright 2002-2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
WARNING: Patch 113886-27 seen on Solaris 10 () but intended for Solaris 7 .
WARNING: Patch 113887-27 seen on Solaris 10 () but intended for Solaris 7 .Checking my jumpstart patchfile, this is not a patch we install. It is on the Solaris 10 product CD as a part of the OpenGL 1.3 package SUNWglrt.
I am not terribly worried, and everything seems to work OK, though I thought I should share, see if anyone else has run into this and if it has bit them.
TIA,
Ben

An update, the idsktune script that comes with Directory Server 5.2 Patch 4 still gives this warning. Has no one else seen this or what?

Core dump on Solaris 8 Patch-15

I have compiled my code on Solaris 8 machine with the Kernal Custer Paths 12 and is working properly on the same machine. IF I move to a similar Solaris 8 machine with Patch 15 it core dumps. Do I have to recompile on Patch 15 environment? Or is it some other problem. The core happens when the executable is using C libraries (libc.so.1)

The program probably dumped core with seg fault? The
libc might well have changed with a kernel patch. I
would recommend that you recompile. If the failure
persists, I would post your question on the Solaris
forum as the lib with "little c" is maintained in the
OS and not in the Compiler Collection.

Solaris 8 patches

Hi could not find a better forum to post this...
I have a Sun Fire server running Solaris8 on Sparc. We had some security issues with this server and I was going to download the patch set's as we have done before.. but I get the happy message "This download is only available to users with a valid Sun Service Plan associated to their SunSolve user account".
Now do I really need to purchase ANYTHING to get OS patches? I paid for the OS and the server... Even Micro$soft gives away patches for free.. I don't get this.. I assume there must be a way?
I don't really mind paying... but for patches?
Any tips? Seems abit daft paying a for a service agreement on an old server with an old os.. we are stuck with some other old software so we cannot upgrade this server to solaris 9 or 10... actually we even downgraded it when we got it..
K

I just took a moment
(admittdly a very brief 90-second moment)
and went to the Sun corporate web site.
In the top right corner of that web page there is a search box.
I searched on "smpatch" and got more than 600 results, including links to documentation.
I did not spend too much time reading the contents of the links,
but it is probable that smpatch might be only for Solaris 9 and newer.
... but I don't have any Solaris 8 systems to experiment with.

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 uname -a show you for that system?
Solaris 8 SPARC was similarly effected, for 108528, 117000 and 117350 kernel patches.
If you have login privileges to Sunsolve, find Infodoc 76028.
