2) I have local files associated with my EMC array, should I use the -s or safe option when running the install command for these patches?
Yes, using --safe in such a situation is recommended. Actually, I'm using it whenever I'm installing patches. It does no harm (besides showing a false positive now and then), and while it has become rarer now that patches overwrite configuration files, it's still a threat.
Checking the patch READMEs before installation is still recommended, though. Martin.
