Chapter 1 Solaris 10 10/08 Operating System Patch List

The Solaris 10 10/08 patch list provides a list of patches pre-applied to the Solaris 10 10/08 release. Patches released after the Solaris 10 10/08 release can be found in the SunSolve patch lists. The SunSolve lists contain patches for the entire Solaris 10 release. Some of the patches in the SunSolve list might be new patches or later revisions of those patches included in the Solaris 10 10/08 release. Also, any patch that is in the Solaris 10 10/08 release that was subsequently withdrawn from SunSolve will no longer be in the list. The SunSolve patch list can be found at:

For SPARC-based systems:

For x86–based systems:

The patches that are listed in this chapter have been applied to the Solaris 10 Operating System in one of the following ways:

• SolStart

  These patches are located in the /var/sadm/patch directory on an installed system.

• Freshbits technology

  These patches were applied when the Solaris 10 OS was created. Therefore, these patches are not located in the /var/sadm/patch directory.

The showrev -p command provides a list of all patches that were applied to the installed system, regardless of how they were applied. The Solaris 10 software includes a known and tested level of patches. However, patches cannot be backed out of the Solaris 10 release.

The Solaris 10 10/08 software contains special script patches which do not deliver bug fixes or new features, but deliver changes that are required as a result of issues with the creation of the update image. As a result, these special script patches are not made available for customers, because they are not required outside of creating the Update release
