Solaris Patch Manager Base Version 1.0 Strategy

Overview Solaris Patch Manager Base Version 1.0 constructs a list of patches that is applicable to each system. Based on the results of the PatchPro analysis, it then downloads the patches using a secure https protocol (including all dependencies), sorts the patches in installation order, and applies them according to the policy set for that system. Lists are constructed automatically based on host information and metadata associated with each of the patches. This paper explores the capabilities of the PatchPro Analysis Engine and describes how to leverage its capabilities to more efficiently allow its use in environments where not all hosts have direct access to the Sun infrastructure.
