Solaris 8 Operating System; Disk Space Requirements; Required System Modules; Patches - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.0 Installation Manual

NOTE Before you install Directory Server, you must check that DNS is
properly configured on your system, and that the system has a
static IP address.

Solaris 8 Operating System

If you run Directory Server on a Solaris operating system, you must ensure that the
recommended patch cluster is installed. Solaris patches are identified by two
numbers, for example 106125-10. The first number (106125) identifies the patch
itself. The second number identifies the version of the patch, in the example above
the patch is version number 10. We recommend installing the latest version of the
patch in order to benefit from the latest fixes.
