Where to find previous Solaris 9 Recommend patch ?

Hi:
Is it possible to find the specific version of sun Solaris 9 Recommend patch? As I know, sun keep on upgrade the it on the WEB site. But I need to find out some old version.
Thanks.

I believe older patches are not deleted from the web site, so you can download any revision of the patch you need. Check out http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patchpage

Performace problem in oracle DB after Solaris 10 recommended patching

Dear All,
We are facing some performance problems in our oracle DB qerries and reports recently. We applied Solaris 10 recommended patchset on april 24th. Our monthly report generation acitivity is now running for last 3 days i.e may 11,12,13 and application team is complaining of degraded performance. I can see that the cpu usage on the server is about 100% during the report generation , but everything else is fine. Free memory is 15gb , all mountpoints are under 80% and there is no other hardware issue as well.
Now app team is suspecting that last month patching could be the cause of the problem, because till last month they were performing this activity without having a performance degradtion.
I just need to be sure that solaris 10 recommended patches are not causing this issue. Any of you ever faced such an issue after patch installation ?
The server is V490 with 8 cpu / 32gb RAM. Any hints will be appreciated ?
Thanks in Advance.

MB.ACT light OFF --- after Solaris 9 recommended patch cluster applied

After applying the recommended patch cluster to several SunFire V210s/V240s the "system ready" or "activity" light on the front panel no longer illuminates. The systems come up fine and are fully functional, just no light.
While this has absolutely no impact on usability it is a bit disconcerting for the folks in the server room when glancing at the rack and not seeing the typical green light.
I first noticed the problem in mid 2007 and have tried patch clusters as recent as last month, but the light remains out.
One interesting discovery is that if I reset (hard) the ALOM module the light comes back on. However, if the system is subsequently rebooted for any reason the light does not come back on...
If anyone can shed some light on the issue I would greatly appreciate it!

Unable to install Solaris 8 OE patches

I'm trying to install the Solaris 8 recommended patch cluster on my new Blade 150. I downloaded and unzipped the patch file, dropped into single user mode, and executed the install_cluster script.
After asking me if I was ready to continue to install (I pressed "y"), a message appeared that it was checked for available disk space, followed by the system prompt-- the script had terminated.
Looking at the raw script file I can see that it should have either told me there was insufficient space (don't think this is a problem) or continued. Instead all it does it silently quit. I'm stuck!

are there enough space on your system

How to backout a Recommended Patch cluster deployment in Solstice disksuite

Hello Admin's,
I am planning to use the following Plan of action for deploying the latest Solaris 8 Recommended Patch cluster on the production server's i support.My
concern is if the patching activity fails or the application and Oracle databases dont come up after deploying the patch cluster.How do i revert back to system to its original state using the submirror's which i have detached prior to patching the system :
1) Will shutdown the applications and the databases on the server:
2) Will capture the output of the following commands :
df -k
ifconfig -a
contents of the files /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/vfstab /etc/system
metastat -p
netstat -rn
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
3) We bring the system to the ok prompt
4) We will try to boot the system from both the disk's which are part of the d10 metadevice for root filesystem

Recommended patch sets are and to the best of my knowledge have always been regenerated twice a month.
I think your thinking of maintenance releases. When they generate a new CD image which can be used to do an upgrade install.
They try to generate those every 6 months, but the schedule often slips.
The two most recent were sol10 11/06 and sol10 8/07.

Solaris 10 SPARC Recommended Patch Cluster for 2008 quarter 3 version

Dear All,
Could any one please guide me, where I can download "Solaris 10 SPARC Recommended Patch Cluster" for 2008 quarter 3 version.
I have checked in sunsolve.sun.com, I'm able to find only the latest release.
please guide me.
Thanks and regards,
veera

Ok,
Here's a cute little formula to try using your systems parameters to gain some "head's-up" on an expected or estimated time to complete the patch run.
You will need a few things to prepare.
Number of "real" CPU's (not hyperthreads)
Speed of each CPU as a whole number i.e 2.87Ghz = 2,867
the total number of patches from the cluster i.e. Sept 15th = 381 (Solaris 10)
Network factor if using NFS = 2.5
local cluster file factor = 1.5
Patch cluster on CDROM factor = 3.25
Now, combine all of those elements in this equation:
{ ( #1 * #2 ) / #3 * factor(#4 or #5 or #6) }
This will yield a number in minutes of patch run time. Then all you will need to add is the standard boot up time to get the total of all patching and reboot.
Of course you could write a script to extract all of this information and feed it to "bc -l" to get a quick figure.
Example, on one of my Solaris 10 boxes with the information filled in to the equation:
#> echo "((4*2660)/381)*1.5"|bc -l
#> 41.88976377952755905511
It actually took 44.2 minutes to complete the patching of this box plus another 12 minutes to reboot. But all in all a pretty fair estimate I think.

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.

Where to download the latest Solaris 9 OS Patch

Hi,
can someone please direct me to the latest Solaris 9 OS patch. I could only find 117*** on sunsolve. Did I miss it?

please review the details inside Spectrum Infodoc 76028.
"Why are there multiple kernel patches for the Solaris[TM] 8, 9 and 10 Operating Systems?"
Essentially it says that as each kernel patch became large,
it was supplanted by a new patch with a new number.
When that became large, in turn, another new patch was created.
The best way to get your Operating Environment patched is to use
the full Recommended Patch Cluster. It has everything and
patches will get installed as you system might need them.

Smpatch and Recommended Patches for Solaris 10

Hi,
Is there any way to make smpatch only retrieve recommended patches for Solaris 10 ?
I've seen several forum posts saying to use
smpatch set patchpro.patchset=recommended
but other posters indicate that this only works for Solaris 9 (additionally, it doesn't seem to work at all currently:
Failure: Cannot connect to retrieve recommended.zip: Not Found )
As far as I'm aware, Sun's patching policy is to apply the Recommended patches, as well as any that address specific issues you are having. This seems to contrast with the behaviour of smpatch which grabs all patches..

Hi.
Depending on your hardware, you can use the following in place of 'current' in patchpro.patchset to get recommended patches:
sunu45 = Sun Ultra45/Ultra25 Recommended
sftxk = Sun Fire T1000/T2000 Recommended
sfv2x5 = Sun Fire V215/245 Recommended
sfv445 = Sun Fire V445 Recommended
Mod.
