Some MU2 patches are not automatically installed on systems running the Solaris 7 operating environment. The patch set that is included in the MU2 is complete only for systems running the Solaris 7 3/99 operating environment. If you want to apply MU2 patches to systems running the Solaris 7 operating environment, you will need to apply additional patches.
To determine if these additional patches should be applied to your system, check the /etc/release file for the release date by typing:
# cat /etc/release |
If your screen displays this version of the Solaris operating environment, you must apply special patches.
