Solaris Patches

Run updatemanager, subscribe and install patches (service plan # NK20211311). If machine does not have direct access to the web (for example clon20 on subnet 86), configure proxy from Update Manager's login page (proxy server: jprox.jlab.org, port:8080). More information about jlab proxy can be found at https://wiki.jlab.org/cc/external/wiki/index.php/Proxy_For_Special_Networks. Some patches will not be installed by updatemanager, you will be advised to install them manually. Use command smpatch, for example smpatch add -i 121431-33, it will look for patches in /var/sadm/spool/ directory where updatemanager places uninstalled patches. Unless you do manual installation, patch wil shows up in updatemanager window again and again.

Sometimes manial intervention is required, read all messages carefully.
