solaris 9 update
Hi,
I have been asked to update a solaris9 server to bring it to the same level/state as that of another solaris9 server.
This is "uname -a" from the solaris9 server I have to upgrade.
# uname -a
SunOS bngddsol2 5.9 Generic_112233-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R
This is the "uname -a" from the other solaris9 server.
bash-2.05# uname -a
SunOS sthsparc02 5.9 Generic_118558-33 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2
Please suggest me as to how I can upgrade the solaris9 server from Generic_112233-12 to Generic_118558-33.
Thanks & Regards

Theres no particularly easy way to do that.
If you really have to then you can do a showrev -p on each of them and script up something
to compare the 2.
Then use smpatch to download and install all the missing patches.
But a far easier approach would be to simply run a recommended patchset through both of them.
Then they will be at the same level :-).

Hi,
Have a look at the /etc/release file of the second node and you will see the precise release installed on .
Then you can upgrade the 1st node by using the correct solaris distribution.
But this doesn't indicate the additional patches that have been installed since the solaris installation.
Regards.

Shekar,One question. Do you have a contract with Sun.If answer=yes, then Sun will provide a set of patches for our environment based on the Explorer output they receive. The patch set will include the latest OS, product, and Flash PROM patchesSunish
