Solaris 9 patch cluster version

Solaris 9 has been installed, and "uname -v" reported the os version as Generic-112233-12.

I then installed th latest 9_Recommended patches, without any errors.

"uname -v" still reports the same version. I thought this number would reflected the patch cluster?

Thanks!

You could do a showrev -p | grep (patch number)

Desiree,

Solaris 9's kernel patch 112233-12 was the last revision for that particular patch number.The individual zipfile became so large that it was subsequently supplanted by 117191-xx and that has also been supplanted when its zipfile became very large, by 118558-xx.

Consequently you will never see any newer version than 112233-12 on that particular patch.

What does <b>uname -a</b> show you for that system?

Solaris 8 SPARC was similarly effected, for 108528, 117000 and 117350 kernel patches.

If you have login privileges to Sunsolve, find <font color="teal">Infodoc 76028</font>.

I am stupid. The reason the patch cluster number had not changed in "uname -a" was because I had not rebooted it! When it was rebooted, it changed to GENERIC_118558-11, just as a more intelligent person would have expected! Thanks for answering!
