Apply the patch to one node in the cluster at a time. When applying a non-rebooting patch, you do not need to first shut down the node receiving the patch.
Before applying the patch, check the Sun Cluster product web page for any special pre- or post-installation instructions.
Apply the patch on a single node.
# patchadd -M patch-dir patch-id |
Specifies the directory location of the patch.
Specifies the patch number of a given patch.
Verify that the patch has been installed successfully.
# showrev -p | grep patch-id |
Verify that the patch works, and that the node and cluster are operating normally.
Repeat Step 2 through Step 4 for the remaining cluster nodes.
# patchadd -M /tmp/patches 234567-05 ... # showrev -p | grep 234567-05 |
