Dear all, regards, I was wondering the following regarding some patches CA recommends to have installed with the OS (Solaris) previous to install Spectrum.
One of my providers is configuring 2 Solaris Servers and there are patches recommended by CA, that are obsoletes and are replaced by new ones from the provider (SUN), read below the patch description. Patches in RED: recommended by CA Patches in BLUE: latest patches from SUN - 117461-04 Linker --> is from July 2005 and was replaced by patch 118833-36 - 119963-04 SunOS 5.10: Shared library patch for C++ --> is from November 2005 and it was replaced by patch 119963-12 (Nov.2008) - 119042-09 SunOS 5.10: usr/sbin/svccfg patch (required by 118833-36) - 119059 verify that patch version do not exceed 119059-20. If a superior version than 119059-20 is installed, Solaris 10 must be reinstalled without the version that exceeds patch level 119059-20 in order to execute and generate SRM Reports. --> The patch 119059-20 is from January 2007 and the patch 119059-21 is from February 2007 all versions of Solaris 10 since 2007 come with the latest update for this patch (119059). Latest version of this patch is 119059-46 from December 2008. My question is: is it safe to install these latest patches, instead of the ones recommended by CA? or is a must to install these obsolete patches? Any ideas, or feedback from someone that have installed Solaris using the latest OS patches are welcome. Regards -- Eng.
