AdminSuite Patch Required for Installation or Upgrade

This section supplements "Adding Server and Client Support Task Map" in System Administration Guide, Volume I on the Solaris 7 Documentation CD.

When you install diskless clients or Solstice AutoClient^TM systems from a server running Solstice AdminSuite 2.3 software, you need to install Solstice AdminSuite 2.3 patch number 104468-11 (SPARC) or 104469-11 (Intel) or any subsequent revision of this patch. You will find the patch and installation instructions

• For SPARC: http://access1.sun.com/private-cgi/patch2html?README.104468-11

• For Intel: http://access1.sun.com/private-cgi/patch2html?README.104469-11

If you are unable to obtain the patch from access1.sun.com, go through your normal support channel.

If you are using Solstice AdminSuite software with a patched Solaris release from which it is inadvisable or impossible to remove all the patches, then you need the following file to add OS services:

/var/sadm/patch/.mu_applied

This file is automatically created by the following Maintenance Update releases:

• Solaris 2.5.1: MU3, MU4, and MU5

• Solaris 2.6: MU1 and MU2

• Solaris 7: MU1, MU2, MU3, and MU4

With this workaround, Solstice AdminSuite software is unable to track all the patches in a system. Use admclientpatch to add or remove patches to or from the system.
