Documentation Errata

Document Affected: Solaris 9 Package List

The LDAP package SUNWlldap is not included in "Solaris 9 Operating Environment Package List" in Solaris 9 Package List. The SUNWlldap package is included in the Solaris 9 operating environment, and is included in the Core, End User, Developer, Entire, and Entire+OEM metaclusters.

Document Affected: Solaris 9 Installation Guide

In the "System Requirements" and "Solaris suninstall Program" sections of the Solaris 9 Installation Guide, the minimum memory requirements are erroneously listed as 96 Mbytes. The Solaris 9 operating environment requires a memory size of 128 Mbytes or greater.

Document Affected: sysidcfg(4) Man Page and Solaris 9 Installation Guide

The sysidcfg(4) man page and Solaris 9 Installation Guide instruct you to use only an IP address with the default_route option in the sysidcfg file. However, you can also use the NONE keyword with the default_route option.

Document Affected: re-preinstall(1M) Man Page

"Example 1: Installing the JumpStart Software" in the re-preinstall(1M) man page should read as follows.

The following procedure installs the JumpStart software on a system's own default boot disk:

  1. From the ok prompt, boot the system from the Solaris Media (DVD or 1 of 2 CD ) in single user mode:


    ok boot cdrom -s
    
  2. With the re-preinstall command, install the JumpStart software on the system's default boot disk, which is a slice on the disk (usually slice 0) where the system automatically boots. (The system's default boot disk is probably where the current root (/) file system is located, which can be determined with the format(1M) command.) For example, the following command installs the JumpStart software on the system's default boot disk, c0t3d0s0 on a Solaris 9 system.


    example# /usr/sbin/install.d/re-preinstall c0t3d0s0
    example#  sync ; sync ; sync ; reboot disk:b

Document Affected: "Writing a Client Program" in Solaris WBEM SDK Developer's Guide

If you create WBEM clients that use the RMI protocol with the javax.com.sun.client API and want to connect to a server that is running the Solaris 8 operating environment, you must include the /usr/sadm/lib/wbem/cimapi.jar file in the client's CLASSPATH. The cimapi.jar file includes the com.sun.wbem classes that are required to communicate with a server that is running the Solaris 8 operating environment.
