Installing Sun Update Connection - Solaris 9

Hi,

I'm a bit new to all this, but am having trouble getting the patches added to our Solaris 9 box.

What I have done so far: (in single user mode)

#patchadd 121118-08

ERROR: This patch requires patch 121453-02

which has not been applied to the system.

#patchadd 121453-02

ERROR: This patch requires the following patches:

119574-02 119254-06

#patchadd 119574-02

One or more patch packages included in 119574-02

are not installed on this system.

#patchadd 119254-06

One or more patch packages included in 119254-06

are not installed on this system.

So -- where do I go from here?

At one point, I did a

#smpatch get

#smpatch analyze

112945-44

So then I

#patchadd 112945-44

successfully.

BUT -- only to have the same results as above.

After that, I tried,

#smpatch get

/usr/sbin/pprosetup: /usr/bin/java: not found

#smpatch analyze

/usr/sbin/pprovsvc: /usr/bin/java: not found

So, I thought maybe I needed 119480-10.

But, adding it did not seem to change anything.

Before I keep adding things, I'd very much appreciate some help here!

Thanks very much!!!

- Judy

Dear Moderator,

Here is what I have:

# smpatch get

patchpro.backout.directory-""

patchpro.download.directory-/var/sadm/spool

patchpro.install.types -rebootafter:reconfigafter:standard

patchpro.patch.source-https://updateserver.sun.com/solaris/

patchpro.patchset-patchdb1

patchpro.proxy.host -""

patchpro.proxy.passwd********

patchpro.proxy.port -8080

patchpro.proxy.user -""

patchpro.sun.passwd ********

patchpro.sun.user-""

# showrev -p | egrep "123005|121453|121118|120335|121081|121563|122231|119788"

# cat /etc/release

Solaris 9 12/02 s9s_u2wos_10 SPARC

Assembled 05 November 2002

# cat /vars/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER

cat: cannot open /vars/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER

# /usr/lib/cc -ccr/bin/ccr -g cns.assetid

/usr/lib/cc: not found

I'm not sure what this last one is (or where it is) -- using gcc didn't

work, and I couldn't find cns.assetid on this machine.Is that a Solaris 10

file? This machine is:

SunOS solarium.ucsd.edu 5.9 Generic_117171-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

Are you saying I should be installing each patch from the above showrev?

Thanks again for the help,

Judy

Judy,

The Sun Update Connection software is not yet available for Solaris 9. The patches you are trying to install are for Solaris 10 only.

We are currently working on a version of the Sun Update Connection software for Solaris 8 and 9 however it is not yet available. Until it is release please continue using Patchmanager which it seems like you already have installed.
