Install OS Updates on Provisionable Servers

Once you have an OS installed on a provisionable server, the N1 System Manager enables you to install OS updates, which consist of either Solaris packages and patches or RedHat RPMs depending on the OS on the provisionable server. Installing OS updates on servers for the first time is a two-step process:

1. The N1 System Manager must have system access to the OS update before the update can be installed on the provisionable servers. Import the required OS update into the N1 System Manager.

   Use the create update command to import an OS update from a web site or from an accessible file system on the management server. Once an OS update is imported, you can display it in the browser interface under Shortcuts or you can use the show update command.

2. Install the OS update on the appropriate provisionable servers by using the browser interface or the load server or load group commands.

See Managing Packages, Patches, and RPMs in Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Administration Guide for details.
