DESCRIPTION
     The smpatch command manages the update process on  a  single
     system or on multiple systems. Use this command to download,
     apply, and remove updates. Also, use the smpatch command  to
     configure the update management environment for your system.

     If you want to run the smpatch command in remote mode,  your
     system  must  run  at  least  the Developer Solaris Software
     Group of the Solaris 10 system.

System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



     The smpatch analyze command determines the updates that  are
     appropriate  for the systems you want to update. The smpatch
     command can download and apply updates that you  specify  on
     the command line. Or, smpatch can download and apply updates
     based on an analysis of one or  more  systems.  Use  the  -i
     option  or  the  -x idlist= option to specify the particular
     updates.

     All of the systems on which you want to apply  updates  must
     be running the same version of the Solaris Operating System,
     have the same  hardware  architecture,  and  have  the  same
     updates applied.

     The list of updates that is generated  by  the  analysis  is
     based  on  all  of the available updates from the Sun update
     server. No explicit information about your  host  system  or
     its  network  configuration  is  transmitted  to Sun. Only a
     request for the Sun update set is  transmitted.  The  update
     set  is  scanned  for  updates that are appropriate for this
     host system, the results are displayed,  and  those  updates
     are optionally downloaded.

     The smpatch command supports the following subcommands:

     add

         Applies one or more updates to one or more systems.  You
         must  specify  at least one update to apply. By default,
         updates are applied to the local system.

         This subcommand attempts to apply only the  updates  you
         specify.  If  you  specify  an  update  that  depends on
         another that has not been applied, the add command fails
         to apply the update you specified.

         This subcommand does not  apply  updates  based  on  the
         specified  update  policy. To apply updates based on the
         update policy, use the update subcommand.

         Use the -i or -x idlist= option to specify  the  updates
         to  apply. Note that all of the updates you specify, and
         those on which they depend, must exist in  the  download
         directory.

         Use the -n or the -x mlist= option to specify  the  sys-
         tems on which to apply updates.

         Optionally use the -d option  to  specify  an  alternate
         download directory.

         If the updates on which the specified updates depend are
         unavailable,  run  the  smpatch  download  subcommand to

System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



         obtain the updates you need.



     analyze

         Analyzes a system to generate a list of the  appropriate
         updates.

         After analyzing the system, use the update subcommand or
         the  download  and add subcommands to download and apply
         the updates to your systems.

         The list of updates is written to  standard  output,  so
         you  can redirect standard output to a file to create an
         update list.

         If you supply a list of one or more updates, the list is
         augmented  with  the  updates  on  which  those  updates
         depend. The list is also put in an  order  suitable  for
         applying updates.

         The smpatch analyze command depends on network  services
         that  are  not  available while the system is in single-
         user mode.



     download

         Downloads updates from the Sun update server to  a  sys-
         tem.  You  can optionally specify which updates to down-
         load. You can also specify the  name  of  a  system  and
         download the appropriate updates to that system.

         Use the -i or -x idlist= option to specify  the  updates
         to download.

         Use the -f option to force the  download  of  the  exact
         update   revision  specified  by  -i  update-id.  If  -i
         update-id does not specify a revision, the highest revi-
         sion of the update is downloaded.

         Use the -t option to download the README  file  for  the
         update  specified  by -i update-id. If -i update-id does
         not specify a revision, the README file for the  highest
         revision of the update is downloaded.

         Use the -n option to analyze  a  remote  system  and  to
         determine  which  updates  to download. The updates, and
         those on which they depend, are downloaded from the  Sun
         update  server  to  the download directory of the system

System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



         you specified.

         The smpatch download command depends on network services
         that  are  not  available while the system is in single-
         user mode.



     get

         Lists one or more of the smpatch configuration parameter
         values.   See   ``Configuring   Your  Update  Management
         Environment.''

         To see values for all parameters, run  the  smpatch  get
         command with no arguments. The output shows an entry for
         all configuration parameters. Each entry  appears  on  a
         line  by  itself.  Each entry includes three fields: the
         parameter name, the value you have assigned it, and  its
         default  value.  The fields are separated by one or more
         tab characters.

         The following values have special meaning: - means  that
         no  value  is  set,  "" means that the value is the null
         string, \- means that the value is -, and \"" means that
         the value is "" (two double quotes).

         In addition to these special values, these special char-
         acters  might appear in the output: \t for a tab, \n for
         a newline, and \\ for a backslash.

         To see values for particular parameters, run the smpatch
         get command with one or more parameter names. The output
         lists one parameter value per line in the order in which
         the parameter names are specified on the command line.



     order

         Sorts a list of updates into an order that can  be  used
         to apply updates.

         The list of updates is written to  standard  output,  so
         you  can redirect standard output to a file to create an
         update list.

         Use the -i or -x idlist= option to specify  the  updates
         to  order. Note that all of the updates you specify must
         exist in the download directory.

System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



     remove

         Removes a single update from a single system.

         Use the -i option to specify which update to remove.  Do
         not  use  the  -x idlist= option. Optionally, use the -n
         option to specify the name of a system. Do not  use  the
         -x mlist= option. By default, the update is removed from
         the local system.

         If the update that you want to remove is required by one
         or more of the updates that have already been applied to
         the system, the update is not removed.



     set

         Sets the values of one or more configuration parameters.
         Nothing  is written to standard output or standard error
         when you set parameters, even if a parameter  value  you
         set  is  invalid.  This  command  does  not validate the
         values you set.



     unset

         Resets one  or  more  configuration  parameters  to  the
         default values. You must specify at least one configura-
         tion parameter.



     update

         Updates a single local  or  remote  system  by  applying
         appropriate  updates.  This subcommand analyzes the sys-
         tem, then downloads the appropriate updates from the Sun
         update  server to your system. After the availability of
         the updates has been confirmed, the updates are  applied
         based on the update policy.

         By default, standard updates and those that have  reboo-
         tafter or reconfigafter properties are applied.

         If an update does  not  meet  the  policy  for  applying
         updates,  the  update is not applied. Instead, the ID of
         the update is written to a file in the  download  direc-
         tory.  After  the  update  ID  is  written  to the file,
         smpatch continues to apply the other updates. Later, you
         can use patchadd to manually apply any updates listed in

         this file. The updates listed in the file are  still  in
         the download directory.

         Installation instructions for updates that require  spe-
         cial  handling  are included in the README file for each
         update.

         The smpatch update command depends on  network  services
         that  are  not  available while the system is in single-
         user mode.



  Using Local Mode or Remote Mode
     Starting with Solaris 9, the smpatch command is available in
     two modes: local mode and remote mode. Local mode can be run
     only on the local system and can be run by  users  who  have
     the  appropriate  authorizations. This mode can be run while
     the system is in single-user mode. Remote mode can  be  used
     to  perform  tasks on remote systems and can be run by users
     or roles that have the appropriate authorizations.

     By default, local mode is run. In local  mode,  the  Solaris
     WBEM  services  are not used, and none of the authentication
     options or those options that refer to  remote  systems  are
     available.  The  command  in  local mode runs faster than in
     remote mode.

     If the Solaris WBEM services are running and you specify any
     of  the  remote  or  authentication  options, the command in
     remote mode is used.

     On Solaris 8 systems,  the  smpatch  command  only  supports
     local mode operations.

  Specifying the Source of Updates
     Your system must specify the source of updates  to  use.  By
     default, you obtain updates from the Sun update server. How-
     ever, you can also obtain updates from an update  server  on
     your  intranet or from a local collection of updates on your
     system.

     You must specify the URL that points to  the  collection  of
     updates.  By default, the Sun update server is the source of
     updates. The URL is:

     https://getupdates.sun.com/solaris/

     The URL must point to an update server or to a collection of
     updates  that is available to the local system. The value of
     this URL cannot be null.

System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



  Configuring Your Update Management Environment
     You can use the smpatch set command to configure the  update
     management  environment  for  your system. Use these parame-
     ters:

     patchpro.patchset

         Name of the update set  to  use.  The  default  name  is
         current.



     patchpro.download.directory

         Path of  the  directory  where  downloaded  updates  are
         stored  and  from which updates are applied. The default
         location is /var/sadm/spool.



     patchpro.backout.directory

         Path of the  directory  where  update  backout  data  is
         saved.  When an update is removed, the data is retrieved
         from this directory as well. By default, backout data is
         saved in the package directories.



     patchpro.patch.source

         URL that  points  to  the  collection  of  updates.  The
         default   URL   is   that  of  the  Sun  update  server,
         https://getupdates.sun.com/solaris/.



     patchpro.proxy.host

         Host name of your web proxy. By default, no web proxy is
         specified,  and  a  direct connection to the Internet is
         assumed.



     patchpro.proxy.port

         Port number used by your web proxy. By default,  no  web
         proxy  is  specified,  and  a  direct  connection to the
         Internet is assumed. The default port is 8080.

System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



     patchpro.proxy.user

         Your user name used by your web  proxy  for  authentica-
         tion.



     patchpro.proxy.passwd

         Password used by your web proxy for authentication.



     patchpro.install.types

         Your policy for applying updates. The value is a list of
         zero  or more colon-separated update properties that are
         permitted to be applied by an update operation  (smpatch
         update).

         This policy only affects which updates are installed  on
         your  system.  The  policy does not affect which updates
         are downloaded.

         By default, updates that have the standard, rebootafter,
         and  reconfigafter properties can be applied. See ``Set-
         ting an Update Policy.''



  Setting an Update Policy
     Updates are classified as being standard or  nonstandard.  A
     standard  update  can  be applied by smpatch update. Such an
     update is associated  with  the  standard  update  property.
     smpatch applies standard updates immediately.  These updates
     require no system restart. A nonstandard update has  one  of
     the following characteristics:

       o  An update that  is  associated  with  the  rebootafter,
          rebootimmediate,  reconfigafter,  reconfigimmediate, or
          singleuser properties. Such a nonstandard update can be
          applied  automatically during a system shutdown if per-
          mitted by the policy.

       o  An update that is associated with the interactive  pro-
          perty.  Such  an  update  cannot  be  applied  by using
          automated installation mechanisms like smpatch  update.
          When  you  attempt  to apply one of these updates using
          smpatch update, the update will be downloaded  but  not
          installed.  You  must  examine the update's README file
          and perform whatever manual steps it  describes.  Typi-
          cally,  you are instructed to apply the update manually



SunOS 5.10           Last change: 1 Dec 2005                    8






System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



          using patchadd or smpatch add.


     Use smpatch set to specify the types of updates that smpatch
     can  additionally  apply  during  an  update operation. Such
     updates might include those that require a reboot and  those
     that  must  be  applied  while  the system is in single-user
     mode.

     This policy only affects which updates are installed on your
     system.  The  policy does not affect which updates are down-
     loaded.

     Specify the types of updates that can be  applied  by  using
     the following command:

     # smpatch set patchpro.install.types=update-property-list

     update-property-list is a colon-separated  list  of  one  or
     more of the following update properties:

     interactive

         An update that cannot be applied by  running  the  usual
         update management tools (pprosvc, smpatch, or patchadd).
         Before this update is applied,  the  user  must  perform
         special actions. Such actions might include checking the
         serial number of a disk drive, stopping a critical  dae-
         mon, or reading the update's README file.



     rebootafter

         The effects of this update are not visible  until  after
         the system is rebooted.



     rebootimmediate

         When this update is applied, the system becomes unstable
         until  the system is rebooted. An unstable system is one
         in which the behavior is unpredictable and data might be
         lost.



     reconfigafter

         The effects of this update are not visible until after a
         reconfiguration  reboot  (boot -r). See the boot(1M) man



SunOS 5.10           Last change: 1 Dec 2005                    9

         page.



     reconfigimmediate

         When this update is applied, the system becomes unstable
         until  the  system  gets  a reconfiguration reboot (boot
         -r). An unstable system is one in which the behavior  is
         unpredictable and data might be lost.



     singleuser

         Do not apply this update while the  system  is  in  mul-
         tiuser  mode. You must apply this update on a quiet sys-
         tem with no network  traffic  and  with  extremely  res-
         tricted I/O activity.



     standard

         This update can be applied while the system is  in  mul-
         tiuser  mode.  The  effects of the update are visible as
         soon as it  is  applied  unless  the  application  being
         updated  is running while the update is applied. In this
         case, the effects of the update are  visible  after  the
         affected application is restarted.



OPTIONS
     The smpatch command supports two kinds of options: authenti-
     cation options and subcommand options.

  Authentication Options
     The smpatch authentication options, auth-opts, apply to  all
     of the subcommands.

     If no authentication options are specified, certain defaults
     are  assumed  and  the user might be prompted for additional
     information, such as a password for authentication purposes.

     These authentication  options  are  only  available  if  the
     Solaris Management Console and the Solaris WBEM services are
     available on the local system. If the WBEM services are  not
     running  on the local system, smpatch performs update opera-
     tions on the local system only. You can also  ``force''  the
     use  of  the  local-mode  smpatch  command  by  using the -L
     option.



SunOS 5.10           Last change: 1 Dec 2005                   10






System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



     The single letter options can also  be  specified  by  their
     equivalent  option  words preceded by two hyphens. For exam-
     ple, you can specify either -l or --rolepassword.

     The following authentication options are supported:

     -H | --hostname host-name:port

         Specifies the host and port to which you  want  to  con-
         nect.  If you do not specify a port, the system connects
         to the default port, 898.  If you do not specify a  host
         (host-name:port),  the  Solaris  Management Console con-
         nects to the local host on port  898.  You  might  still
         have  to  choose  a toolbox to load into the console. To
         override this behavior, use the smc -B command,  or  set
         your  console  preferences  to  load  a  home toolbox by
         default.



     -L

         Forces the smpatch command to use local mode, which does
         not rely on Solaris WBEM services. On Solaris 8 systems,
         this option does not do anything.

         This option is mutually exclusive with the other authen-
         tication options.



     -l | --rolepassword role-password

         Specifies the password for  role-name.  If  you  specify
         role-name  but  do  not  specify  role-password, you are
         prompted  to  supply  role-password.  Because  passwords
         specified on the command line can be seen by any user on
         the system, this option is considered to be insecure.



     -p | --password password

         Specifies the password for  user-name.  If  you  do  not
         specify  a  password,  you  are  prompted to supply one.
         Because passwords specified on the command line  can  be
         seen  by  any  user  on  the system, this option is con-
         sidered to be insecure.

System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



     -r | --rolename role-name

         Specifies a role name for authentication. If this option
         is not specified, no role is assumed.



     -u | --username user-name

         Specifies the user name for authentication.  If  you  do
         not  specify  this option, the user identity running the
         console process is assumed.



  Subcommand Options
     The following options pertain to the smpatch subcommands:

     -d update-dir

         Specifies  an  alternate  download  directory  in  which
         updates are downloaded and from which they are applied.

         The default download directory is /var/sadm/spool.

         The directory must be writable by root and  be  publicly
         readable.

         update-dir uses one of the following forms:


           o  For  remote  mode,  specify  host-name:/update-dir,
              where  /update-dir  is  a  fully  qualified, shared
              directory.

           o  For local mode, specify  /update-dir,  which  is  a
              fully qualified, shared directory.

         This option is supported by the  add,  download,  order,
         and update subcommands.



     -f

         Forces the download of the exact update revision  speci-
         fied by -i update-id. If -i update-id does not specify a
         revision, the highest revision of the  update  is  down-
         loaded.

         This option is supported by the download subcommand.




SunOS 5.10           Last change: 1 Dec 2005                   12






System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



     -h

         Displays information about the command-line options  for
         the   specified  subcommand.  This  option  is  mutually
         exclusive with all other options.



     -i update-id

         Specifies the ID of an update.

         You can specify more than one update ID by using the  -i
         option  for each update. You can also use the -x idlist=
         option to point to a list of update IDs.

         When  using  the  remove  subcommand,  you  can  specify
         exactly one update ID.

         This option is supported by the add, analyze,  download,
         order, remove, and update subcommands.



     -n system-name

         Specifies the name of the  system  on  which  to  manage
         updates.

         When using the add subcommand, you can specify more than
         one  system by using the -n option for each system. When
         using the analyze, download, remove, and update  subcom-
         mands, you can only specify a single system.

         To specify more than one system for the smpatch add com-
         mand,  use the -x mlist= option. This option enables you
         to specify a list of systems instead  of  using  the  -n
         option  to specify each system. The -n option and the -x
         mlist= option are mutually exclusive.

         If you do not specify this option, the system is assumed
         to be the one specified by the -H option.

         This option is supported only if the Solaris  Management
         Console and the Solaris WBEM services are running on the
         local system and any system that is  specified  by  this
         option.

         This option is supported by the add, analyze,  download,
         get, order, remove, set, unset, and update subcommands.

System Administration Commands                        smpatch(1M)



     -t

         Downloads the README file  associated  with  the  update
         specified  by  -i  update-id.  If  -i update-id does not
         specify a revision, the README  file   for  the  highest
         revision of the update is downloaded.

         This option is supported by the download subcommand.



     -x idlist=update-list-file

         Specifies the name of  a  file,  update-list-file,  that
         contains a list of updates to download or apply.

         Each update ID in the file must be terminated by a  new-
         line character. The file name you specify must be a full
         path name.

         You can use the -i option to specify a  list  of  update
         IDs.

         This option is supported by the add, analyze,  download,
         order, and update subcommands.



     -x mlist=system-list-file

         Specifies the name of  a  file,  system-list-file,  that
         contains a list of systems on which to manage updates.

         Each system name must be terminated by a newline charac-
         ter. The file name you specify must be a full path name.

         You can use the -n option to specify a list  of  systems
         instead of using the -x mlist= option. The -n option and
         the -x mlist= option are mutually exclusive.

         This option is supported only if the Solaris  Management
         Console and the Solaris WBEM services are running on the
         local  system  and  any  system  that  is  specified  in
         system-list-file.

         This option is supported by the add subcommand.

     systems  lab1  and  lab2.  The  updates  are  located in the
     /files/updates/s10 directory on the system named fileserver.

     Example 4: Applying Updates by Using an Update List File

     # smpatch add -x idlist=/tmp/update/update_file \
     -d /net/fileserver/export/updatespool/Solaris10 -n lab1 -n lab2

     Applies    the    updates    specified    in    the     file
     /tmp/update/update_file  to  the  systems lab1 and lab2. The
     updates are  located  in  the  NFS-mounted  directory  named
     /net/fileserver/export/updatespool/Solaris10.

     Example 5: Applying Updates by Using an Update List File and
     a System List File

     # smpatch add -x idlist=/tmp/update/update_file \
     -x mlist=/tmp/update/sys_file

     Applies    the    updates     listed     in     the     file
     /tmp/update/update_file  to  the  systems listed in the file
     /tmp/update/sys_file. The updates are located in the default
     /var/sadm/spool directory on the local system.

     Example 6: Analyzing a System and Downloading  Updates  From
     the Sun Update Server

     # smpatch download -n lab1

     Analyzes the  lab1  system  and  downloads  the  appropriate
     updates   from   the  Sun  update  server  to  the  download
