smpatch and Recommended Patches for Solaris 10

Hi,

Is there any way to make smpatch only retrieve recommended patches for Solaris 10 ?

I've seen several forum posts saying to use

smpatch set patchpro.patchset=recommended

but other posters indicate that this only works for Solaris 9 (additionally, it doesn't seem to work at all currently:

Failure: Cannot connect to retrieve recommended.zip: Not Found )

As far as I'm aware, Sun's patching policy is to apply the Recommended patches, as well as any that address specific issues you are having. This seems to contrast with the behaviour of smpatch which grabs all patches..

Hi.

Depending on your hardware, you can use the following in place of 'current' in patchpro.patchset to get recommended patches:

sunu45 = Sun Ultra45/Ultra25 Recommended

sftxk = Sun Fire T1000/T2000 Recommended

sfv2x5 = Sun Fire V215/245 Recommended

sfv445 = Sun Fire V445 Recommended

Mod.

What about older hardware ? In particular, 280R's and 480R's ?

Unfortunately, the only patchsets I'm aware of are those listed above.If you need recommended patches only, the patch clusters are still available on SunSolve.Mod.
