sure you need root access... and for veritas you need the patches for the volumemanger...

as always be sure to have a (working!) backup BEFORE patching your system!

You should also reboot the machine if it has been up and running a while before you start patching. This is to make sure you got a working machine where every thing starts again before you start making changes.

Read the README and INSTALL in the patch package first.
