Patch Requirements For Solaris 10 x86_64 (10/08)

[Former Member]

Hello All;

We are about to begin testing the use of installing SAP Netweaver onto Solaris 10 x86 (10/08). I have seen SAP Note 908334 and it describes use of a prior older version of Solaris 10 x86 (01/06). Can anyone tell me if newer versions of the patches described in this SAP note are included or need to be added later?

Many Thanks

You can check using

showrev -p | grep <patchnumer>

if the patch is already installed. Most likely this is the case for the version you use so there's no need to update any patches.

However, it's always a good idea to keep the system up-to-date, especially if you plan to use ZFS as filesystem.

I use "pca" to update our systems (http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/) - much easier to handle than "Solaris Update connection" - and fewer problems.
