Sun Management Center 3.5 Release Notes

Installation Guide Patch-Only Procedures Produce Extra-Large Image (4858591)

If the directory for the patch image is created at the root level, as described by the Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide, the image tool includes the Sun Management Center /sbin and /lib subdirectories in the patch-only image. The result is that a larger than necessary patch image is created. The /sbin and /lib directories are not needed for a patch-only image.

Workaround: To avoid this problem, follow these steps.

  1. Create the following directory structure on the machine:


    /disk2/image/Patches/Solaris_2.6
..                  /Solaris_7
..                  /Solaris_8
..                  /Solaris_9

  2. Download and uncompress the patch files.

  3. Place the patch in the appropriate Solaris directory.

  4. Run the image tool. When prompted for the installation files source directory, specify /disk2/image.
