If you use the preinstalled OS, or if you reinstall the OS on the server module, you might need to install certain patches or package updates before you put the server module into production.
Note - Oracle Solaris 11 OS uses package updates rather than patches.
No package updates are required at this time to use Oracle Solaris 11 OS with this server.
You should install an Oracle Solaris 11 Support Repository Update (SRU), if one is available. Use the pkg command or the package manager GUI to download any available SRUs from: https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support
Note - To access the Oracle Solaris 11 package update repository, you must have an Oracle support agreement which enables you to install a required SSL certificate and support key. Refer to the article at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/o11-018-howto-update-s11-1572261.html and Oracle's certificate request web site at: https://pkg-register.oracle.com.

Note - For current information about required patches and updates for optional hardware and software, refer to the documentation for each product.
When searching for a patch using the Patch Name or Number field, you must specify the complete name or number of the patch. For example:
Solaris 10 8/11 Patch Bundle
13058415
147159-03
To search using a patch number without the revision number (two last digits), use % in place of the revision number. For example:
14159-%
