Patching a Dataless NodeThis section describes how to install a patch on a dataless node. You must install the patch on each dataless node.
|
# patchadd -S target-OS patchid |
Possible values for target-OS are Solaris_9 or Solaris_8.
If you have not copied the patch to /var/spool/patch, specify the location of the patch (patch-directory) by using the -M option of the patchadd command:
# patchadd -M patch-directory -S target-OS patchid |
Verify that the patch has been installed:
# patchadd -p target-OS |
where target-OS is the Solaris operating system. For example, Solaris_9 or Solaris_8.
A list of all patches on the node is displayed on the screen.
Verify that the node is configured correctly:
# nhadm check |
For more verification procedures, see Chapter 3, Determining Cluster Validity.
This section describes how to apply a patch to a package installed in the root directory for diskless nodes.
To Patch the root File System for Diskless NodesLog in to the master node as superuser.
The master node must be running the Foundation Services when you install a patch for diskless nodes.
Perform Step 2 through Step 4 of To Patch a Nonshared Package on Both Master-Eligible Nodes.
Apply the patch for a diskless node:
If you have copied the patch to /var/spool/patch, install the patch as follows:
# patchadd -R /export/root/diskless-node-name patchid |
If you have not copied the patch to /var/spool/patch, specify the location of the patch using the -M option of the patchadd command:
# patchadd -M patch-directory -R /export/root/diskless-node-name \ patchid |
Reboot the diskless node:
# init 6 |
Verify that the patch has been installed:
# patchadd -p -R /export/root/diskless-name |
A list of all patches on the node is displayed on the screen.
Verify that the node is configured correctly:
# nhadm check |
For more verification procedures, see Chapter 3, Determining Cluster Validity.
Repeat Step 3 through Step 6 for each diskless node with an /export/root/diskless-name directory on the master node.
This section describes how to install a patch on a shared Foundation Services package.
To Patch a Shared Package on a ClusterLog in to the master node as superuser.
The master node must be running the Foundation Services when you install a shared package.
Perform Step 2 through Step 4 of To Patch a Nonshared Package on Both Master-Eligible Nodes.
If your cluster was installed by the nhinstall tool, create the INST_RELEASE file used by the patchadd command:
# nhadm confshare |
For information about nhadm confshare, see the nhadm(1M)man page.
Apply the patch.
If you have copied the patch to /var/spool/patch, install the patch as follows:
# patchadd -R /SUNWcgha/local/export/services patchid |
If you have not copied the patch to /var/spool/patch, specify the location of the patch by using the -M option of the patchadd command:
# patchadd -M patch-directory -R /SUNWcgha/local/export/services patchid |
Verify that the patch has been installed:
# patchadd -p -R /SUNWcgha/local/export/services |
A list of all patches on the node is displayed on the screen.
You can also search for a specific patch as follows:
# patchadd -p -R /SUNWcgha/local/export/services | grep patchid |
If you stopped the cluster to install the patch, restart the cluster.
For information, see To Restart a Cluster.
Verify that the node is configured correctly:
# nhadm check |
For more verification procedures, see Chapter 3, Determining Cluster Validity.
