Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
Please refer to the man pages for instructions on using 'patchadd'
and 'patchrm' commands provided with Solaris.
 
The following example installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/123456-07
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
       example# patchrm 123456-07
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages. Any
other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.


Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
Not all patches listed in this section as needed for the completion
of a fix or feature, may be available at the same time as this patch.
This allows the remaining fixes/features to be made available sooner.
 
NOTE 1:  In order to get the Miniroot fixes contained in this patch,
         this patch must be applied to the Miniroot, which is located
         in the Boot directory on Net Install servers and Boot servers.
 
         The Miniroot needs to be patched on the Net Install server
         and on all Boot servers that have already been created
         from the Net Install server.
 
         Please also note that a patched Net Install server will
         create patched Boot servers.  In other words, if you patch
         a Net Install server, and subsequently make a Boot server
         from it by using the 'setup_install_server' command, the
         newly-created Boot server will incorporate the patch applied
         to the Net Install server.
 
         Use 'patchadd -C' for this patch, rather than the generic
         invocation.
 
         Please read the following document for a complete guide to miniroot
         patching on Solaris 10.
 
         http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/hub_articles/patchmini.jsp

NOTE 6:  If this patch will be used to patch the miniroot of a Net Install

         installing this patch.
 
         This patch contains files to be installed under the "var" directory
         in the miniroot.  Since "var" is a symbolic link under the miniroot,
         you must first set the following patchadd environment variable to
         "true" in order to avoid clobbering the "var" symbolic link:
 
         # PKG_NONABI_SYMLINKS="true"

         New Boot Sparc (PSARC/2006/525), please also install the following
         patches:
 
         119252-26 (or greater)  System Administration Applications Patch
         119254-59 (or greater)  Install and Patch Utilities Patch
         119313-23 (or greater)  WBEM Patch
         120450-02 (or greater)  get_netmask Utility Patch
         121428-11 (or greater)  Live Upgrade Zones Support Patch
         121430-27 (or greater)  Live Upgrade Patch
         124628-08 (or greater)  CD-ROM Install Boot Image Patch
 
NOTE 10: Before and after installing this patch, please verify the following
         duplicate entries are removed from /etc/system file:
 
         set tmpfs:tmpfs_minfree=1
         set swapfs_minfree=0x040
         set nfs_global_client_only=1
 
NOTE 11: If this patch will be used to patch the miniroot of a Net Install
         image, the following patch must be installed prior to this patch:
 
         137137-09 (or greater)  kernel patch
 
NOTE 12: To get complete fix for BugId 6786499 (pkgadd does not respect
         TMPDIR environment variable for non-global zones), please also
         install the following patch:
 
         119254-66 (or greater)  Install and Patch Utilities Patch
 
NOTE 13: To get complete fix for BugId 6809128 (freeware packages cannot be
         installed in sparse non global zone with patch 119254-63), please
         also install the following patch:
 
         119254-66 (or greater)  Install and Patch Utilities Patch
 
NOTE 14: To get the complete ZFS Flash feature, please also install the
         following patch:
 
         119534-15 (or greater)  Flash Archive Patch
 
         For Solaris 10 Update 6 or earlier, the following required patch must
         also be installed for ZFS flash to work:
 
         139555-07 (or greater)  Kernel Patch
 
         Although this new version of the install software supports "-" for
         the pool name in a JumpStart profile (since the root pool created
         by a flash archive install takes its name from the flash archive,
         not the profile), the Misc/jumpstart_sample/check script in the
         installation medium does not accept a "-" in that field.  This patch
         does not update the check script.  Therefore, for now, JumpStart
         profiles should specify a legal name for the pool in the "pool"
         keyword line, even though it will be ignored.
 
NOTE 15: To get complete fix for BugId 6853789 (pkgrm errors during zone
         upgrade), please also install the following patch:
 
         119254-67 (or greater)  Install and Patch Utilities Patch
 
NOTE 16: To get the complete Turbocharged SVR4 Package Commands feature
         (PSARC 2009/173), please also apply the following patches:
 
         121428-13 (or greater)  Live Upgrade Zones Support Patch
         121430-40 (or greater)  Live Upgrade Patch
         119254-68 (or greater)  Install and Patch Utilities Patch
 
         Subsequently, if you create a boot environment with Solaris 10 10/08
         or Solaris 10 5/09, please also install the four patches to that
         alternate boot environment.  Later Solaris Updates will already have
         them in place.
 
         These patches might not be applicable to some install metaclusters
         (such as SUNWCreq and SUNWCprog) in the case the packages that a
         patch updates are not included in a Solaris metacluster.
 
NOTE 17: To get the complete fix for 6930379 (unable to install ZFS flash
         archive created from alternate pool), please also install the
         following patch:
 
         119534-19 (or greater)  Flash Archive Patch
 
NOTE 18: This patch should be used with CAUTION.
         The issues related to normal upgrades (both ttinstall, pfinstall and
         jumpstart) work by applying this patch.  lucreate and luupgrade have
         been successful after applying this patch.
 
         However, if you are running out of root(/) filesystem space, PLEASE DO
         NOT ATTEMPT A DSR UPGRADE.
         It has been noticed that the root filesystem can get blown away by
         choosing Auto_Layout.
 
         Hence, in general, DSR upgrade SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED AFTER APPLYING
         THIS PATCH.
 
NOTE 19: To get the complete Auto Registration fix for the following BugId's:
 
         6952572 AutoReg Install
         6952365 /tmp/autoreg_file needs rename as /var/run/autoreg_file
                 otherwise it's vulnerability issue
         6952367 convert sprintf calls introduced in AutoReg project to
                 snprintf to avoid array overrun
         6953886 Auto Registration info provided by luupgrade contains wrong
                 link
         6955595 luupgrade is checking autoreg credential file as
                 /etc/autoreg/cred instead of /etc/autoreg/creds
 
         please also install the following patches:
 
         119252-29 (or greater)  System Administration Applications Patch
         120199-16 (or greater)  sysidtool Patch
  	 121430-50 (or greater)  Live Upgrade Patch
 	 124628-10 (or greater)  CD-ROM Install Boot Image Patch


NOTE: The list of 'patches required with this patch' (above) has been
modified from the list specified at patch creation time. The reason for
the modification is that one or more of the required patches was
either never released or withdrawn after its release. The following
substitutions (which are guaranteed to satisfy the original requirements)
were therefore made:

124628-03 replaces 126677-02
