steps for Kernel Patch Updation on Solaris 10 X4100 with 2disks mirrored

Hi all,

I have Solaris 10 10/06 (118855-19) installed on one of the X4100 server. This is the time for me to update the latest kernel patch (118855-36). We have two disks mirrored. My questions are,

1) Do i need to detach any of the disk from the mirror before doing any patching.

2) Is it possible to install the patches without detaching any disks from the mirror. (i.e. installeing patch on mirrored root filesystem)

3) how to boot from the second disk in case the patch installation creates problem while booting up.

Any suggestions or steps which you have already implemented for the above scenario.

This isn't really a question for this forum, you may be better to look at some of the sys-admin forums for a complete answer.

You should not need to break the mirror in order to apply the kernel patch, however doing so would allow for quicker recovery of the system should something go wrong during patching.

I would strongly advise that you read the special install instructions for the kernel patch prior to installing it.

You may also wish to use a patch cluster rather than smpatch/updatemanager, these can be downloaded from SunSolve:
