| Problem | Crashes, hangs and high CPU stemming from the Solaris OS or SDK. | | Cause | Solaris administrators should ensure their Java™ 2 Standard Edition (J2SE™) patches are current. The J2SE Solaris Patch Clusters contains essential Solaris patches to ensure proper functionality of Sun's J2SE products. This is a prerequisite for keeping your Solaris J2EE environment in a good working state. | | Solution | You can verify that your Solaris operating system patches are up-to-date by using a Perl script called patchcheck. To use this script, follow these steps:
- Download the Patch Check Tool and uncompress to a directory on the local system.
- Download the latest cross-reference file to the same directory as the Perl script from previous step.
- Execute the following command:
perl ./patchk.pl -l > report.txt
- Review report.txt output to determine current Solaris patch levels.
- To determine which J2SE patches require updating review the readme from the J2SE patch download. The J2SE Solaris Patch Cluster is available for download at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access - Compare the patch numbers in the readme download to the report.txt. The report.txt should indicate whether Solaris is at current patch levels.
It is important to obtain a current cross-reference (.xref) file every time the Patch Check Tool is run. The compressed patch download comes with a user guide for further instructions.
Alternatively, use the Patch Check Tool from a different machine if the following files are collected from the Solaris machine in question:- showrev -p showrev.out
- pkginfo -l pkginfo.out
- uname -a > uname.out
