Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
If you are storing the patches on a local disk, create a directory such as /var/tmp/lupatches.
From the SunSolve web site, obtain the list of patches.
Change to the patch directory as in this example.
# cd /var/tmp/lupatches |
Install the patches with the patchadd command.
# patchadd path_to_patches patch-id patch-id |
patch-id is the patch number or numbers. Separate multiple patch names with a space.
The patches need to be applied in the order specified in infodoc 206844.
Reboot the system if necessary. Certain patches require a reboot to be effective.
x86 only: Rebooting the system is required or Solaris Live Upgrade fails.
# init 6 |
You now have the packages and patches necessary for a successful creation of a new boot environment.
