Patching Solaris 9 Distributions

The inability to deploy Solaris 9 OS distributions to servers from a Linux management server is usually due to a problem with NFS mounts. To solve this problem, you need to apply a patch to the mini-root of the Solaris 9 OS distribution. This section provides instructions for applying the required patches. The instructions differ according to the management and patch server configuration scenarios in the following table.
