Ensure that your system is running at least the End User Solaris Software Group of the Solaris 10 Operating System.
Your system must be connected to the Internet before you can install the Update Manager feature update because the software must be retrieved from Sun.
Identify the appropriate version of the Update Manager feature update for your system.
Choose the feature update based on the platform type of your Solaris system.
SPARC: Latest revision of update 121118
x86: Latest revision of update 121119
Become superuser.
Use the smpatch update command to automatically download and apply the appropriate feature update to your system.
For example, the following command applies the Update Manager feature update to your SPARC based system:
# smpatch update -i 121118 |
Note that the smpatch update command installs the latest revision of the update you specify with the -i option.
Now you must access the GUI to configure your update management environment and register your system. See Accessing the Update Manager GUI.
