Displaying OS Patches for Diskless Clients

Diskless client patches are logged in different directories, depending on the type of patch:

• Kernel patches are logged in the diskless client's /var/sadm/patch directory. To display kernel patches, type the following command on the diskless client:

  % patchadd –p

• /usr patches are logged in the OS server's /export/Solaris_version/var/patch directory. A directory is created for each patch ID. To display /usr patches, type the following command on the OS server:

  % patchadd -S Solaris_8 -p Patch: 111879-01 Obsoletes: Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWwsr

To list all spooled patches by OS and architecture, use the smosservice command with the -P option.
