Solaris version question

[dandan123]

When I go to the sunsolve website for patches I see different versions of Solaris listed, for example for Solaris 9 the following versions are listed -

112951
113713
114131
117480

How do you determine this number on your system ?

When I do a showrev I get this output -

Hostname: blahblah
Hostid: xxxxxxxx
Release: 5.9
Kernel architecture: sun4u
Application architecture: sparc
Hardware provider: Sun_Microsystems
Domain:
Kernel version: SunOS 5.9 Generic 118558-17 Oct 2005

Is the number next to Generic (in the last line of my output) the version number ? If so it doesn't match any of the numbers on the sunsolve website.

run more /etc/release see if that matches up with what you are looking for.

cnd,

I already did that before posting but it had nothing close to those numbers.

Here's my listing for /etc/release

Solaris 9 9/05 s9s_u8wos_05 SPARC
Copyright 2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Dandan123;

I am a little confused by your question.

The patches you list are all for solaris 9,

112951 is for patchadd
113713 is for pkginstall
114131 is for terabyte disk
117480 is for pkgadd

If you are running showrev -p | grep 112951 is will give you something like the below:

# showrev -p | grep 112951
Patch: 112951-12 Obsoletes: 115599-01 Requires: 115689-01 Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWswmt

So the version of the patch is rev 12

But the version of patch just relates to Solaris 9 not a specific release of Solaris 9.

So your kernel patch 118558-17 is revision 17.

If this is not what you are looking for or at try to explain further.

Thanks

I'm sorry. That was indeed a patch number and not a revision number.

Sorry about that... duh
