ProcedureTo Create a Solaris Baseline Black List

This procedure describes how to use the policy mechanism to create a black list of updates that are never to be installed.

Note –

The terms update and patch are the same.

  1. From the Hosts list, select the host, hosts, group, or group for which you want to create a black list.

  2. Open the Policies window by choosing Policies from the Tools menu.

  3. Click the New button to open the Policy Editor window.

  4. Give the policy a name that you can easily remember.

    Using identifiable names is especially helpful if you want to use this policy again for other jobs.

  5. Expand the Patches category.

  6. Find and expand the patch ID range in which the patch or patches you want to add to the black list is found.

  7. Select a patch ID, and add the patch to the black list by choosing No from the Apply Fix drop-down menu.

  8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for each patch you want to add to the black list.

  9. Click OK to save the policy on the Policies window.
