I would like to know other system admins patch strategy for installing Solaris 10 Patches. Typically, we install the Sun Alert Security Patches on our test systems then try to roll them out within 30 days of the patch coming out. We only do recommended patches when needed by software on the system or if required as a dependency patch
Also do you break your mirror to install the patches on one disk and test than sync back up (either using Solaris Volume Manager or a hardware mirror)? Do you only do this for Kernel patches and Solaris 10 Update patches? It would seem time consuming breaking the mirror to install all security patches, but I don't know what others are doing. We recently don't use this method. I would just like to get a feel if other System Admins are aggressive in installing the security patches as soon as they come out? Versus why break it if it runs. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
