Solaris Patch Update Feature

You can use the Update option of the Solaris Management Console's Patches Tool or the smpatch update command to analyze, download, and install recommended patches from the SunSolve Online^SM web site.

This update feature was previously only available for systems that run the Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, or Solaris 8 releases.

You must install the PatchPro 2.1 software on your system before running the update feature. Download the PatchPro 2.1 packages from http://www.sun.com/PatchPro. Then follow the instructions to install the software on your system.

For more information, see the smpatch(1M) man page.
