patch difference

I am planning to install Sun Studio 11 on the Production Server.

I have already installed Sun Studio11 on my Development machine.

The Kernel Version on development machine is "SunOS 5.9 Generic 112233-08 Jun 2003" where as on Production Server it is "SunOS 5.9 Generic 112233-04 November 2002".

I see a difference in the kernel version. Does it really matter ?

Should I update the Kernel version on Production Server before installing Studio11 ?

Thanks,

Ramesh.

are you asking from a "minimum requirements" to Studio, or are you asking regarding your development environment and how closely it ressembles your production environment?

http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/products/previous/11/index.jsp

doesn't show any obvious patch requirements

I think what you're asking has more to do with the relationship of your production and development machines and less to do with Studio.

I'd also think that you may need to consider that you're putting a development tool on a production server, and perhaps that is or isn't what you intended on doing. Many companies try to discourage from doing that, but perhaps that's not the point, so I'll stay out of that one...
