Solaris Update Release Query
As a requirement for Oracle 11g I need Solaris 10 to be on at least update 6.

I am currently on update 4.

Applying the patch bundle isn't an option as the 11g upgrade pre-req checks needs to see that /etc/release specificies u6 or greater.

What I'd like to know is, will installing the Oracle Solaris OS Recommended Patchset achieve this or do I need to go for an Update Release?

As far as I can see on this is that only the latest update release version is available through OTN which I can't use as our EMC software is not compatible with it and there is no fix yet. OTN points to MOS for older updates but I can only see Patch Bundles and Patch Sets.

Many thanks in advance

Paul

You need to go to an update release. Applying the recomended patch cluster will not cut it.

And to go to an update release, you may either use liveupgrade or apply it to an alternate boot environment. You can go through thw README file that comes with the update release.

MOS sucks. If you have a local oracle rep, ask him to send you instructions on how to list out the update releases from MOS.
