NAME: Recommended OS Patchset Solaris 9 SPARC
DATE: Nov/04/11
INTENT:
-------
NOTE: From Jun/28/11 some core changes have been made to the Recommended OS
Patchset :
- The patch inclusion criteria have been extended to include patches for
selected issues identified by Oracle Proactive Services and the Oracle Technical
Support Center.
- The term 'Patch Cluster' has been replaced by 'Patchset', and the associated
rebranding has been effected. The patchset install script is now named
'install_patchset'. A symlink to 'install_patchset' is provided in place of the
legacy 'install_cluster' script for now, but this symlink is purely transitional
and will be removed at some future point in time. Where applicable, please
update infrastructure to use the 'install_patchset' script directly.
- The 'CLUSTER_README' file has been renamed '9_Recommended.README'.
For further information about these changes, please see:
http://blogs.oracle.com/patch/entry/a_solaris_recommended_patchset_to
This patchset is intended to provide a selected set of patches for the
designated Solaris release level. This is a bundled set of patches conveniently
wrapped for one-step installation. Only install this patchset on the appropriate
Solaris system. Carefully read all important notes and install instructions
provided in this README file before installing the patchset.
WARNING!! IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that the installation of this patchset be
performed in single-user mode (Run Level S).
PATCHSET DESCRIPTION:
---------------------
These Solaris Recommended patches are considered the most important and highly
recommended patches that avoid the most critical system, user, or security
related bugs which have been reported and fixed to date.
During initial installation of the Solaris product other patches or patchsets
may be provided with the product and required with product installation. Refer
to the Solaris product installation documentation to be sure that all the
patches required at product installation are already installed. This patchset
can then be used to update or augment the system with the recommended patches
included.

IMPORTANT NOTES AND WARNINGS:
-----------------------------
SYSTEMS WITH LIMITED DISK SPACE SHOULD *NOT* INSTALL PATCHES:
With or without using the save option, the patch installation process will still
require some amount of disk space for installation and administrative tasks in
the /, /usr, /var, or /opt directories where patches are typically installed.
The exact amount of space will depend on the machine's architecture, software
packages already installed, and the difference in the patched objects size. To
be safe, it is not recommended that a patchset be installed on a system with
less than 100 MBytes of available space in each of these directories. Running
out of disk space during installation may result in only partially installed
patches. Be sure a recent full system backup is available in case a problem
occurs, and check to be sure adequate disk space is available before installing
the patchset.
SAVE AND BACKOUT OPTIONS:
By default, the patchset installation procedure uses the patchadd command save
feature to save the base objects being patched. Prior to installing the patches
the patchset installation script will first determine if enough system disk
space is available in /var/sadm/patch to save the base objects and will
terminate if not. Patches can only be individually backed out with the original
object restored if the save option was used when installing this patchset.
Please later refer to the patchrm command manual page for instructions and more
information. It is possible to override the save feature by using the [-nosave]
option when executing the patchset installation script. Using the nosave option,
however, means that you will not be able to backout individual patches if the
need arises.
SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
As with any patch individually applied, there may be additional special
installation instructions which are documented in the individual patch README
file. It is recommended that each individual patch README is reviewed before
installing this patchset to determine if any additional installation steps are
necessary for a patch. Otherwise it is possible that an individual patch may
still not be completely installed in all respects after the patchset has been
installed.
DISKLESS CLIENT SYSTEMS:
On server machines that service diskless clients, a patch is NOT applied to
existing clients or to the client root template space. Therefore, all client
machines of the server that will need this patchset will have to individually
apply this patchset. Install this patchset on the client machines first, then
the server.
A PATCH MAY NOT BE APPLIED:
Under certain circumstances listed below, a particular patch provided in this
patchset may not be installed if:
- The patch applies to a package that has not originally been installed
- The same or newer revision of the patch has already been installed
- The patch was obsoleted by another patch that has already been installed
- The package database is corrupt or missing
Use the 'patchadd -p' command to compare the list of patches already installed
on the system with the patch list and revision levels provided in this patchset.
During installation, the install process will indicate if a patch was not
applied and more detailed installation messages will be logged to the
installation log file. The README file with each patch also provides
documentation regarding install and backout messages.
OLDER VERSIONS OF PATCHES ALREADY INSTALLED:
Backout of older versions of patches provided in the patchset is not required in
order for the newer version to be installed. However not backing out an older
rev before installing a newer rev will cause showrev -p to continue to show the
older rev along with the newer rev. And, if the older rev was previously
installed with the save option, the older rev will continue to occupy disk space
in /var/sadm/patch even though it has been obsoleted by the new rev. The patchrm
command will only allow the most recently saved objects to be restored, thus
there are no serious risks associated with leaving an older rev on the system.
It just may, however, avoid confusion and be more economical to first backout an
older patch revision before installing a newer revision.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
---------------------
First, be sure the patchset has been unzipped if the patchset was received as a
.zip file, then proceed as follows:
1) Decide on which method you wish to install the patchset:
Recommended Method Using Save Feature:
By default, the patchset installation procedure uses the patchadd save feature
to save the original objects being patched. Prior to installing the patches the
patchset installation script will first determine if enough system disk space
is available in /var/sadm/patch to save the objects and will terminate if not.
Using the default save feature is recommended.
Method Using No Save Option:
It is possible to override the save feature by using the [-nosave] option when
executing the patchset installation script. Using the nosave option means that
you will not be able to backout individual patches if the need arises.
2) Run the install_patchset script
cd <patchset-directory>
./install_patchset
By default, a message warning the user to check for minimum disk space allowance
(separate from the save feature) will appear and allow the user to abort if
inadequate space exists. To suppress this interactive message the "-q" (quiet)
option can be used when invoking install_patchset.
The progress of the script will be displayed on your terminal. It should look
something like:
# ./install_patchset
Patchset install script for <patchset-name>
Determining if sufficient save space exists...
Sufficient save space exists, continuing...
Installing patches located in <patchset-directory>
Installing <patch-id>
Installing <patch-id>
.
.
.
Installing <patch-id>
For more installation messages refer to the installation logfile:
/var/sadm/install_data/<patchset-name>_log
Use 'patchadd -p' to verify installed patch-ids. Refer to individual patch README
files for more patch detail. Rebooting the system is usually necessary after
installation.
#
3) Check the logfile if more detail is needed.
If errors are encountered during the installation of this patchset, error
messages will be displayed during installation. More details about the causes
of failure can be found in the installation logfile:
/var/sadm/install_data/<patchset-name>_log
If this log file previously existed the latest patchset installation data will
