Patching
• Copy the patch cluster you downloaded to a location on the disk. I
usually use /var/tmp/patch
• Change directory to /var/tmp/patch
• Unzip the cluster (unzip –q 10*zip)
• Change directory to 1*ed
• Run the command to install the patches. The format of the
command is ./i*r --<password> <options>
• ./inst*r –s10patchset –apply-prereq (to install the required
patches). This is a total of 11 patches
• Reboot
• Login and change directory to /var/tmp/patch/1*ed
• ./i*r –s10patchset
• Reboot
• You have successfully installed and patched Solaris 10x86
