SOLUTION:

You'll want to download the Solaris patches from: http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=home - get yourself an account, and you'll want to at least download the 'Sun Alert Patch Cluster' for your OS, as well as the 'Recommended' patch archive, which usually has a generic title like '10_x86'. I downloaded each archive, put them in /tmp (my /tmp is huge on my servers), and proceeded to unzip them:

Code:

# cd /tmp
# unzip -q <nameofarchive.zip>

From there, you 'cd' into the new directory, and always read the *README files before you start. They have a lot of useful information, and will save you from countless hours of brain strain. You'll also need the passcode in the *README's to continue, so read it. :-p

Code:

# cd <nameofunzippedarchive>
# less *README*

After you're read the *README, it's usually a matter of running the installer script, which is something like:

Code:

# ./installer_xxx

Follow the instructions carefully, and write down what you're doing for sanity's sake.

Rebooted the server, the patches stuck. I ran the revision test to see which ones were applied. Quite a lot of them, and it took a long time to patch - 4+ hours. o_O

ORIGINAL POST:

All - I want to patch a 10 box with the latest/greatest. From this fun screenshot, I honestly have no idea where to start:

Steer a Solaris/patching n00b in the right direction here? Yes, I've RTFM'ed quite a bit, but the documentation simply has me running in circles. It's not clear which patch you're supposed to download, and why.

Thanks!
