How to determine most recent Solaris 8 patch? Operating Systems Solaris How to determine most recent Solaris 8 patch? Registered User.

Join Date: Jul I have recently been assigned sys admin responsibilities for an 7-computer network running 3 Unix workstations 1 is SunFire V server; 2 are SunBlade and 4 PCs. Even if the problems are not due to Solaris currency, I still need to know how to find and interpret this information. If I run the command "showrev -p", about 1, lines of output are returned containing numerous patch numbers and names, in no particular order. Is this the wrong command?

If so, how can I obtain the patch information? If the command is correct, how can I interpret the output? Thanks in advance. Join Date: Nov Showrev -p works like you said, you get all the patches. I generally only use it by doing something like showrev -p grep patchnumber to look up a specific patch. Sun has patch management tools on their website. You will probably want to check those out, although some of their stuff requires that you have a Sun maintenance contract.

Try sunsolve. To find out the kernel patch level you can use uname -a. It will have in there or something like that. You may want to just download the latest Solaris 8 recommended patchset and install that to get all the recommended and critical patches up to date at once. Do a search in google for the link and download. Not a terrific management software from SUN but it is good at patch management!

I was able to determine the most recent patch using SunSolve and the grep commandas you suggested. Although, I can't just apply any patch bundle because security settings may get reset or part of the patch may not take due to existing security settings.

The machines are locked down quite well using AFDI. I must go to a computer off my network to gain Internet access. Pearson collects name, contact information and other information specified on the entry form for the contest or drawing to conduct the contest or drawing.
