General Procedure for Kernel Patching in Solaris: We are getting multiple requests for Solaris Kernel Patching procedure from many of your Gurkul Followers. Here we go with all the steps for all of them. Cara Meng Crack Sebuah Software Update. I am trying to present the simple patching procedure (when our disks are under Solaris Volume Manager Control, SVM). No zones, No clusters considered in this example.

1.) Download the bundle patch (Recommended Solaris Cluster Patch) from (It need your login credentials for Oracle site). This cluster patch will be in zip form, copy it on your server and unzip it where you have sufficient space. 2.) Take necessary backups of the server. (make one directory under /var/tmp and put the outputs in the server also). Take backup of uname -a –>(will give your current Kernel Patch Level), df -k, metastat -p, metadb -i, netastat -nr, ifconfig -a, prtconf, prtdiag -v, metastat -ac (sol. 10), metastat -t, eeprom, echo format etc.

[better make one script for youself and run that before proceeding with any activity on any server –>I used to follow this as my best practice:)] Make a habbit of Running Sun Explorer before proceeding with any of the activity in Solaris. 3.) Identify the rootdisk and rootmirror disk with metastat -p or df -k or metastat -ac (-ac only work in Solaris 10). 4.) Dont forget to take the backups of /etc/vfstab and /etc/system. Note: Take outputs before detaching the mirror else you would have to take the backups seperately for your detached disk.
