Problem |
Crashes, hangs and high CPU stemming from
the Solaris™ operating system 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
