What's New in the Solaris 9 4/04 Operating Environment

Solaris Patch Update Feature

This feature is new in the Solaris 9 4/03 release.

You can use the Update option of the Solaris Management Console's Patches Tool to analyze, download, and install recommended patches from the SunSolve OnlineSM Web site. Or, the smpatch update command can be used for this purpose.

This Solaris update feature was previously only available for systems that run the Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, or Solaris 8 releases.

You must install the PatchPro 2.1 software on your system before running the update feature. Download the PatchPro 2.1 packages from http://www.sun.com/PatchPro. Then follow the instructions to install the software on your system.

For more information, see the smpatch(1M) man page.
