A subdirectory with the same name as the patch is then created under the cur-
rent directory and the unzipped files are placed in this subdirectory.
The
patchadd
command is then used to install a patch. Because patches have no
default spool directory, the full pathname to the patch must be specified as a com-
mand-line argument if it is not in the current directory. The following example
shows the installation of the SPARC rpc.rwalld patch on a standalone system:
# patchadd 112875-01
Checking installed patches...
Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...
Installing patch packages...
Patch number 112875-01 has been successfully installed.
See /var/sadm/patch/112875-01/log for details
Patch packages installed:
SUNWrcmds
#
Note that the patch modified the SUNWrcmds package (Remote Network
Server Commands). The
patchadd
command is actually a ksh script that calls
the
pkgadd
command to install the patch.
To apply a patch to the bootable root image of a diskless client or AutoClient,
use the
-R
command-line argument and specify the path to the client's root
