This section shows how the install_cluster script installs the Solaris patches. Refer to the CLUSTER_README file for a list of the specific patches and installation conditions. Be sure the patch cluster has been uncompressed and extracted if you received the cluster as a tar.Z file.
| 1. | Decide the method to install the cluster. |
| By default Save Feature option is selected, which saves the original objects being patched. Selecting the No Save option disables backing out individual patches. |
| 2. | Run the install_cluster script.
|
A message displays, asking the user to check for minimum disk space requirements. To suppress this interactive message, use the -q (quiet) command when you invoke the install_cluster script.
| 3. | Use the following command to verify installed patch IDs.
|
| Refer to individual patch README files for more patch detail. |
| 4. | Check the log file if you get any error messages and need more details.
|
If this log file already exists, the latest cluster installation data will be concatenated to this file.Though some of the patches in the cluster will not be needed if you are installing the cluster on an Ultra machine, the installation program will assume that they need to be installed. When you check the log file, you will see errors for the patches that were not installed.
| 5. | Reboot the machine for all patches to take effect. |
