Required Patches

Patches can be obtained at http://sunsolve.sun.com or through your normal support channels.

If you plan to perform Dynamic Reconfiguration operations on a Sun Enterprise 3500, Sun Enterprise 4500, Sun Enterprise 5500, or Sun Enterprise 6500 system platform, you must be running at least the 3.2.22 revision of the CPU PROM. If your system is running with a lower version of the CPU PROM, download patch 103346-22 or greater and install it as described in the patch's README file. This patch should be installed on your system before you install Solaris Resource Manager 1.3.

To run Solaris Resource Manager on Solaris 8, you must have patch 108995-04 (or greater) installed on your system. If this patch is not installed, the installation script will automatically install it before it installs the resource capping daemon packages.

If you are running Solaris Resource Manager on Solaris 7, you should install patch 109256-01. This patch prevents the srmadm utility from accepting negative values, which are invalid, for the delta and maxusage tunable parameters. If these parameters are set to invalid values, a Solaris 7 system installed with Solaris Resource Manager can become unusable.

Prior to installing Solaris Resource Manager 1.3 on your Solaris 2.6 SPARC Platform Edition 5/98 system, install these patches:

• KU patch 105181-11 (or greater), which contains the kernel enhancements necessary to enable Solaris Resource Manager in the Solaris 2.6 environment

• Patch 106123-04 (or greater), which is needed to display the Solaris Resource Manager man pages contained in the SUNWsrmm package on Solaris 2.6 systems

Note that the Solaris 7 5/99 or later release incorporates KU patch 106541-04, which contains the kernel enhancements necessary to enable Solaris Resource Manager in the Solaris 7 environment. If the patch for the release you are running is revised in the future, you might want to install the updated version on your system.
