If you determined during the installation that you need to apply special patches, follow the steps below that correspond to the type of installation you are performing:
You may choose to install all of the special patches or only the special patches that apply to your system. Review the special patch descriptions to determine which patches apply to your system. For a more detailed description of each patch, refer to the individual patch readmes.
Change directory to the special patch directory.
From a local copy of the MU4 image, type:
# cd local_directory/Solaris_7_MU4/platform/Patches/special_patches |
From the MU4 CD, type:
# cd /cdrom/Solaris_7_MU4/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 MU4 to prevent the library conflict problem as described in "Installing Maintenance Update 4 on a Standalone System".
Type your login name and password:
login: login password: password |
Change directory to the special patch directory.
From a local copy of the MU4 image, type:
# cd local_directory/Solaris_7_MU4/platform/Patches/special_patches |
From the MU4 CD, type:
# cd /cdrom/Solaris_7_MU4/platform/Patches/special_patches |
where platform is either sparc or i386.

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 |
