Installing Special Patches on a Standalone System

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Reboot the system by typing:

   # sync ; reboot

   You are then prompted for a login.

   Note -

   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".
