Note
Patch cluster .mpm files must be pushed either concurrently with or after — never
before — the .mpm files for the patches contained in that cluster.
Use solaris2mpm on each of the packages, patches, or patch clusters you wish to manage via the
Satellite, then use RHN Push to upload them to the channel you created for them.
9.4.2.2. Updating Through the Website
To install packages or patches on an individual system, click the name of the system in the Systems
category, select the packages from the Upgrade or Install lists of the Packages or Patches tab, and
click Install/Upgrade Selected Packages.
To run a remote command while installing the package, click Run Remote Command rather than
Confirm. Refer to
Section 9.5, "Remote Commands"
To install packages or patches on multiple systems at once, select the systems and click System Set
Manager in the left navigation bar. Then, in the Packages tab, select the packages from the Upgrade
or Install lists and click Install/Upgrade Packages. To complete the action, schedule the updates.
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, the rhnsd daemon, which instructs the client
system to check in with RHN, automatically starts at boot time. On Solaris systems,
rhnsddoes not start at boot time by default. It can be started from the command line in
this way:
rhnsd --foreground --interval=240
The default location for rhnsd is /opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/sbin/rhnsd.
Below are the available options for rhnsd on Solaris:
Option
-f, --foreground
-i, --interval=MINS
-v, --verbose
-h, --help
-u, --usage
-V, --version
