Yes - I am having this problem getting this patch to stick, however it seems that my issue is with the cert.
I get the following message:
Verifying signed patch <118855-36>...
Verifying digital signature for signer <es-signature>
ERROR: Signature verification failed while verifying certificate <subject=Sun Microsystems Inc Root CA, issuer=/C=US/O=Verisign, Inc./OU=Class2 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2/O:><unable to get local issuer certificate>.
ERROR: Unable to verify signature for signer <es-signature>
Signature invalid on signed patch <118855-36>.
Look familar?
I'm sorry for not exact in-topic question, but my adventure with patching Solaris has just begun.
My question is how to check if my Solaris is up to date? And, if it's not up to date, what patches are needed? Is there any way to automate patches checking via Internet?
Thanx a lot,
Reveler_
Yes there is a way to automate.
As root - type smpatch update. This will check your system and then get the required updates.
Another way is to run the GUI version of smpatch called - Sun Update Manager from the Tools eleveator on the dashboard.
Also, you may need a sun mtce contract to get some of the patches.
