Change directory to the special patch directory.
From a local copy of the MU3 image, type:
# cd local_directory/Solaris_7_MU3/platform/Patches/special_patches |
From the MU3 CD, type:
# cd /cdrom/Solaris_7_MU3/platform/Patches/special_patches |
where platform is either sparc or i386.
Install the special patches.
To install all of the special patches:
# patchadd -M . patchlist |
To install specific special patches, type the following command:
# patchadd -M . patch_id patch_id |
where patch_id is the id of the special patch to install. You may install more than one patch by including each patch id in the command.
Reboot the system by typing:
# sync ; reboot |
You are then prompted for a login.
It is very important that you reboot your system after installing MU3 to prevent the library conflict problem as described in "Installing Maintenance Update 3 on a Standalone System".
