Questions about Solaris 10 Patches:
-
I'm assuming you know the basics of how to log on and change directory, etc...
Download the recommended patch cluster from Sun and apply them all. Here's how... Goto sunsolve.sun.com and click on the Patches and Updates link. Look for the link "Recommended Patch Clusters" click the link.
From the big list, select your Solaris version and select "Download http" and click go. This will download a great big zip file which you must get on to your Solaris machine (you can do all the above while on the Solaris machine if you want). Log in as root and unzip the "recommended.zip" file by typing:
# unzip recommended.zip
This will create a new directory called recommened_9 (or similar).
Schedule some down time and shut the box down. Boot to single user and change dircetory in to this new directory where you will find a file (amongst others) called "install_cluster". You need to run this file:
# ./install_cluster
It will take ages and some will fail - that's fine.
When it has finished, type in:
# reboot -- -r
This will reboot and do a reconfiguration boot at the same time. Just ask if you get any questions.

You need to log into SunSolve and download the patches. It looks like there might be multiple patches. I'd recommend downloading and installing the Solaris 8 Recommended Patch Cluster.
http://sunsolve.sun.com/
Note: You need a valid My Sun account and possibly a valid Sun Support Contract number.
The following readme file contains a list of all Solaris 8 patches. You can search through this and compare it with the 8 Recommended Patch Cluster to see in the in.mpathd patches are contained within it.

AFAIK, there's no real difference between the two, other than the init 0 method being slower (since you go through 2 init stages, as opposed to one). For patching purposes, either would work just fine.
The biggest pro that I can see for going to init 0 first would be if you were needing to set the auto-boot parameter, for doing a reset-all and probe-scsi, or something like that.
