Hi Edgar, list, we've had the same questions asked when we were to install Spectrum 9.0 (see my mail "Patch restrictions for installation 9.0 on Solaris 10?" Jan,22nd).
Unfortunately we had no answer since today :-(Patch restrictions for installation 9.0 on Solaris 10? But - some kind of masochistic from time to time regarding Spectrum and the recommendations - I installed latest Solaris10 (U6 from Oktober 2008) and the current (at time of installation) Recommended Patch Cluster (2009/01/09). No OS issues till now regarding SS/OC/SRM. Hope this helps, Marcel On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 5:40 PM, edgar parra <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
