Installing Special Patches on a Diskless Client or Solstice AutoClient

1. 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.

2. Install the special patches using the following commands accordingly:

   • For each client root area:

     • To install all of the special patches:

       # patchadd -R /export/root/client_root -M . patchlist

     • To install specific special patches, type the following command:

       # patchadd -R /export/root/client_root -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.

   • For the service area:

     • To install all of the special patches:

       # patchadd -S Solaris_2.7 -M . patchlist

     • To install specific special patches, type the following command:

       # patchadd -S Solaris_2.7 -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.

3. Boot the diskless client or AutoClient system.
