Sun Update Connection Certificate Update - Install by 23-Feb-2006

Important Notice: Sun Update Connection has updated the certificates we use to secure our communication channels. To ensure continued service, you will need to apply a special software update before February 23, 2006.
The specific patch IDs are:
122231-01 (Solaris SPARC) - http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-122231-01-1
122232-01 (Solaris x86/x64) - http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-122232-01-1
After February 23 you can use the following command on your managed systems
to install the appropriate patch to enable management at the Sun Update Connection
application:
smpatch update -i 122231-01 (for SPARC clients)
smpatch update -i 122232-01 (for x86 clients)

Solved it. Solution is to move all of the patches into /var/spool/pkg and run patchadd on each one in there (in the right order).

Can not apply update, hangs at connecting to update server

Get a software message advising me to update, update downloads, but when I try to apply it, a window pops up saying Software update, , connecting to update server, nothing happens it just sits there for hours as if it is downloading, but nothing happens, have tried several times to download update

It looks that the update wasn't successful because your "More system details" list still shows a Firefox 3.5.19 version.
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Sun Update Connection install fails on Patch 119574-02

Just finished installing Solaris 10 (3/05) on my brand new Sun Blade 1500. I then downloaded the latest version of Sun Update Connection, but the installer fails as follows:
# ./installUpdateConnection
Adding patch 119574-02
Validating patches...
Loading patches installed on the system...
Done!
Loading patches requested to install.

Checking patches that you specified for installation.

Approved patches will be installed in this order:

Patch 119574-02 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.
See /var/sadm/patch/119574-02/log for details
Patchadd is terminating.The above log file reads as follow:
# cat /var/sadm/patch/119574-02/log
This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed. This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.

pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully
Dryrun complete.
No changes were made to the system.Where have I gone wrong? I haven't done anything to my system between installing Solaris 10 and downloading SUC, so why is it complaining about an existing patch?

Solved it. Solution is to move all of the patches into /var/spool/pkg and run patchadd on each one in there (in the right order).

Managing patches with Sun Update Connection

I have just started using updatemanager to download and install my patches and found some issues I would like to discuss.
First, the patch that updates the software to version 1.0.3 (121119-03) was not available on updatemanager itself. I found it on the sunsolve site by accident.
Second, from the 20 patches available for me to install, 19 failed. The ones that needed reboot "succeeded" but upon shutdown they failed one by one. Even though the failure reasons were ok, like there is a newer patch revision already installed, I think updatemanager could handle all this dependency and versioning thing automatically, and suppress these patches from the list of available patches or at least show them with different status.
Third, I am not sure how to use Sun Update Connection on a systematic basis for keeping my system up to date. Should I install all patches available or not? I don't want to lose time reading all patch descriptions to find out which patches are necessary or not. Is there a straightforward way?
Am I missing something or is updatemanager really just falling short of my expectations?
-- Douglas

To repeat a comment I made in another thread, I agree with datique on this. UM should have a way to say "ignore this patch, I don't want it and never want to see it again". Of course, it needs to keep track of any dependencies there may be later on down the road. The example I gave in the other thread involved the GigaSwift update being needed on my Blade 100 at home.
This isn't meant as a gripe, but a suggestion. I realize that UM is a new tool, and many things like this need to be (are?) hammered out with community feedback.

Sun Update Connection Client 1.0.8 now available

The Sun Update Connection System client, version 1.0.8 is now available as
software update 121118-08 (SPARC) or 121119-08 (x86). Version 1.0.8
is the biggest update we have produced since the initial release of the Sun Update
Connection and includes the following enhancements:
o Sun Update Manager has a brand new user interface which includes a new
look and icons, numerous usability improvements such as better progress
reporting and the ability to print/save installed and available patch lists and
patch README files.
o Support for Solaris Live Upgrade so patches can be added to an inactive
alternate boot environment.
o The Solaris 10 SMF configuration framework is now used to trigger the
installation of patches with special handling requirements (single user mode
or restart-after required) which will improve compatibility and reliability.
o The version 1.0.8 client uses a new Sun-hosted patch server that outsources
content delivery to Akamai. This enables us to provide superior download
performance to our customers worldwide.
For a complete list of the defects corrected in this release please
refer to the patch README file for this patch. Note also that this
update includes fixes that were delivered in prior releases of the
Sun Update Connection client software patch. By installing this update
you may be getting fixes that were previously available but not present
on your system.
Sun Update Connection Hosted application has been refreshed to include
numerous user interface adjustments and fixes that have been suggested by a
customer focus group usability study. Although there are no new features,
the usability of the product is substantially improved.
Thank You,
Sun Update Connection Team

On the SunStudio Patches - I dont believe that this will be fully fixed since part of the problem is the patches themselves. I however do not have access to a SunStudio installed test system at present so I'd be interested to hear feedback from someone who has tried installing these through the SunUC 1.0.8 toolset
Fonts - I believe that greater flexibility will be coming in future releases. Work on the Update Manager gui is still ongoing
Patch server - Yes the SunUC proxy will use the new servers providing it has been upgarded to 1.0.8
Sun4u patch - This is an issue with the patch metadata being incorrect and not the toolset.

Smpatch vs Sun Update Connection

What does Sun Update Connection offer that I
can't get by just using the 'smpatch' tool on Solaris?
Besides telling Sun all about my machine and its
configuration?
There are no screen shots or lists of specific concrete
features on the web site. It's all very abstract, and I
don't have time to download and install it just to figure out
what it is.
--chris

I shouldn't have said "are no screen shots etc" I should have
said "I can't find any...".
Also, I should have compared Update Connection with
"Sun Update Manager" GUI client. That's what I use
now to download and install patches.
Will the Update Connection client give me something different?
Or are these just two competing products from Sun that
do the same thing?
(By the way maybe this should be a FAQ)

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

How Sun Update Connection Proxy really works

Hi,
Apolgies if this question is in the FAQ, but the FAQ link in the header text of this forum gives me a 404.
I've been trawling the docs on Sun Update Connection Proxy and trying to understand how it works with regards caching. The docs are quite detailed in how to set it up, for example how to point to a proxy using http://<proxy-name>:3816 etc., and how to install patchsvr and how to start it.
What seems to be missing from the manuals IMHO (and this all might become blatantly obvious once I've been using it a while) is any details on how the smpatch update process works end-to-end through a proxy, e.g. I know how to change the cache location using the patchsvr command but how and when is anything stored in that location? What are all the files and directories that reside under /var/sadm/spool, and how many of these relate to a proxy (LPS) server?
Is smpatch supposed to clear out the .jar files in there or do I need to set up a job to do that regularly?
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Inside /var/sadm/spool there are several directories, I won't describe all of them, but for most purposes this should be enough:
Client:
/var/sadm/spool/cache/Database - stores patchsets (current2, etc)
/var/sadm/spool/cache/xml - stores the MoTD files
/var/sadm/spool/cache/entitlement - stores the entitlement file (note this is generated by the server on each request)
/var/sadm/spool/cache/updatemanager/analysis.results - if you have the swupAuto cron job, this directory is used to hold analysis to speed up UM launch
/var/sadm/spool/cache/ReadMe - holds the patch readme's (mostly for use with UM)
/var/sadm/spool/cache/collection - holds a file containing information about available patchsets
/var/sadm/spool/cache/category - holds a file describing the types of patches (currently Update Tools, Security, Recommended, and Generic)
/var/sadm/spool/sunucLog - holds job_history.log
Proxy:
/var/sadm/spool/patchsvr - this holds all files required for analysis and patches with URL-encoded filenames, the files used to be stored in a more hierarchical directory structure, but this changed a few patch revisions ago.
As for cleaning, in general it is safe to delete all files under /var/sadm/spool/cache/ as all of the patches are stored at /var/sadm/spool/ and most other files should be replaced on a regular basis automatically, however you may want to remove all of the patches too once you have completed your patching sessions - this is not done automatically. On the proxy you might not want to be so thorough - you would normally want to keep the patches (or at least keep the most recent ones - 180 days in this example):
# cd /var/sadm/spool/patchsvr
# ls | grep -v all_signed | xargs rm
# find /var/sadm/spool/patchsvr/ -mtime +180 -exec rm {} \;Does this answer your questions, or do you need further explanation?

Unable to install FF update 3.6.17 on Mac OS 10.6.7 the update window continues to say 'connecting to update server', but never does. Seems a FF problem does anyone know?

Not much more to say the dialog says, Downloading the update, the progress bar never shows any and the, Connecting to update server..., never connects. I've left it spinning for hours, no luck.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Problems with sun update connection server ?

recently I've been having problems with accessing the update connection web server.

The server encountered an internal error (Internal Server Error) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

The URL is correct and it works for us no problem. I don't believe anyone else has reported this problem so I guess it must be working for everyone else as well.
Can you detail exactly what error you get, and what browser type/version you are using.
Can you also see if you can access this URL: https://srsnetconnect3.sun.com

Sun Update Connection

I have several hundred Solaris 10 boxes (with a current Sun support contract) on an internal (i.e. isolated from the Internet) network. I would like to set up a Sun Update Connection proxy for Solaris patches only. Is it possible to download (and periodically update) the files needed for the proxy server (patches, database, etc.) using a web browser by hand? Moving the proxy server between the Internet and the internal network is not possible.

Thanks. The "Enterprise edition Sun Connection" is the same as "Sun Connection-Customer Satellite", correct? If so, am I also correct that, although the Solaris 10 Update Channel is included with my support contract, the Satellite software needs to be purchased separately?

Problem installing Sun ONE Studio 4 update 1, Community Edition

I recently downloaded the Sun ONE Studio 4 update 1, Community Edition and tried to install it. At one point it searches for a valid JAVA 2 SDK. This seems to go on forever. I quit after 5 hours of waiting. I already have Java 2 standard edition v1.4.1 installed. Can someone please help?

Well thanks Chuck!
With a bit of messing around and a LOT of patience I finally installed Sun ONE Studio update 1 on my laptop pc, running Windows ME.
The trick was (I think) to apply both of the above fixes, but also a couple of things that was not quite as evident.
1 - Do NOT install the SDK in "C:\Program Files\" or any directory path that contains spaces in the name! Apparently that causes problems, and is noted in one of the Knowledge Base articles.
2- When making the file noted in the Knowledge Base:
( http://forte.sun.com/cgi-bin/WebX?[email protected]@.ee815f4 )
- It says: Contents of this new file should be:.
jh=<jdk Home Path> (for example, jh=c:\j2sdk1.4.0_01)
Well it does NOT mention that there should be 2 lines in that file!
Make sure you include a carriage return and a second "blank" line!
OK, that's it. GO ahead & loose yourself in the IDE.
I hope this does not cause undue traffic in the forums but what the heck...
