Appendix D
Installing Solaris PatchesDepending on the version of Solaris™ you are using, you must apply different Solaris patches. Solaris patches are available from Sun Microsystems’ SunSolve home page:
The following sections contain specific URLs where you can download the particular patches you must apply to the different versions of Solaris.
Begin by reading the section Determining Which Patches to Use. Then read the section that describes the patches of interest.
Determining Which Patches to UseTo find out what operating system patches have been applied to your system, use the following command:
# showrev -p
If you see the following output, patches have been applied which enable the ECXpert Java™ user interface to function properly.
If you see the following output, it means that no patches at all have been applied:
Solaris 2.6 PatchesIf you are using Solaris 2.6, apply the patches shown in Table D-1. Refer to the following README file link for more information on the patch cluster that includes these patch IDs.
http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doctype=patch&doc=2.6_Recommended.README
You may instead choose to apply the latest Solaris recommended patch cluster for Solaris 2.6. The Solaris recommended patch cluster is updated every 15 days, so it will be a later version than the Sun-recommended patch cluster and will not have been tested with ECXpert.
Download the latest Solaris recommended 2.6 patch cluster from:
ftp://sunsolve.Sun.COM/pub/patches/2.6_Recommended.tar.Z
Refer to the following README file for instructions on applying this patch cluster:
