Hello all,
I've got a jumpstart server that recently jumpstarted 3 separate, brand
new Sun Fire V210 systems. All three used the same jumpstart profile,
which installed the same version of Solaris 8, the same OS install level
(SUNWcall), partitioned the disks the same and all three called the same
finish script. In that finish script I automatically install the Feb
2005 recommended patch cluster. When these V210s were finished
jumpstarting and they rebooted after the patch cluster install, I looked
at their kernel patch versions with "uname -v", and 2 are the same
version and 1 is not. It is imperative that these be the same as they
are getting shipped to customers. A few questions:
-Any idea why these "uname -v" values would be different?
-Any idea how to tell what cluster patch the OS thinks is installed? I
don't think there is an equivalent, but something similar to
/etc/release, but for the patch cluster.
-Any way to insure 2 systems are at the same patch level without having
to do a manual comparison of a showrev -p output?
-Could the "uname -v" be different if there was a hidden hardware
difference such as a motherboard rev?
It seems the cluster patch area is a bit of a mystery on Solaris any
hints on how to ensure 2 systems are the same from a patching
perspective, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and happy holidays.
-Mark
