ok, that is, in Solaris Express 11 will not be patches. I think that the ips will be much faster and easier to upgrade. I am new to Solaris, and so I asked for someone can be simple questions. Apart from the documentation to version 11 from the beginning of something else I should look at?

I see you can no longer download patches from sunsolve for Solaris 10, 9 and 8 without a support contract. I have a V240 that is 4 months old, do new machines normally come with some sort of contract? Thats kind of lame that I can't patch a $12,000 server I just got recently.

I have to update on solaris 9. UPdating to 10 is not an option. Can I create a disk that will have all the updates/patches and just run it once and not sit and update one by one? If so, how? I have 10 Sun systems. (1 Reply)

Hi,
I have a Solaris 10 device which has quite a dated version of Kerberos 5 installed. I'd like to upgrade the version of Kerberos to a more recent version, but was unsure whether updates to Kerberos are provided by applying a Solaris patch - or whether I would need to go to the MIT website...

qwriter
qwriter(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers qwriter(9F)
NAME
qwriter - asynchronous STREAMS perimeter upgrade
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stream.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
void qwriter(queue_t *qp, mblk_t *mp, void (*func)(), int perimeter);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
qp Pointer to the queue.
mp Pointer to a message that will be passed in to the callback function.
func A function that will be called when exclusive (writer) access has been acquired at the specified perimeter.
perimeter Either PERIM_INNER or PERIM_OUTER.
DESCRIPTION
qwriter() is used to upgrade the access at either the inner or the outer perimeter from shared to exclusive and call the specified callback
function when the upgrade has succeeded. See mt-streams(9F). The callback function is called as:
(*func)(queue_t *qp, mblk_t *mp);
qwriter() will acquire exclusive access immediately if possible, in which case the specified callback function will be executed before
qwriter() returns. If this is not possible, qwriter() will defer the upgrade until later and return before the callback function has been
executed. Modules should not assume that the callback function has been executed when qwriter() returns. One way to avoid dependencies on
the execution of the callback function is to immediately return after calling qwriter() and let the callback function finish the processing
of the message.
When qwriter() defers calling the callback function, the STREAMS framework will prevent other messages from entering the inner perimeter
associated with the queue until the upgrade has completed and the callback function has finished executing.
CONTEXT
qwriter() can only be called from an put(9E) or srv(9E) routine, or from a qwriter(), qtimeout(9F), or qbufcall(9F) callback function.
