You can use the patchadd system utility described in the patchadd(1M) man page to perform the following tasks:
Apply a patch to the global zone only
Apply a patch to the global zone and all non-global zones
Apply a patch to specified non-global zone only
Note - Solaris 10 3/05 through Solaris 10 11/06: If you are patching a package that was added by using the pkgadd command with the -G option, the package must be patched by using the patchadd command with the -G option. This restriction is removed in the Solaris 8/07 release.
You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.
To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
global# patchadd -G patch_id
You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.
Also see Solaris 10 10/09: Zones Parallel Patching to Reduce Patching Time and Solaris 10 10/09: How to Patch Non-Global Zones in Parallel.
To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
global# patchadd patch_id
To apply a patch to a specified non-global zone only, the SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES package parameter for all packages in the patch set must be set to false.
You must be the zone administrator in the non-global zone to perform this procedure.
my-zone# patchadd patch_id
Set the number of non-global zones that will be patched in parallel in the patchadd configuration file /etc/patch/pdo.conf. When patching in the global zone has finished, the number of non-global zones set in num_proc= are patched together.
If running a release prior to Solaris 10 10/09, download patch 119254-66 or later revision (SPARC) or 119255-66 or later revision (x86).
You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.
To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
num_proc=6
If there are more than six non-global zones on the system, the first six will be patched in parallel, then the remaining non-global zones will be patched as processes finish patching the first six non-global zones.
