Uploading package RHATrpush-3.1.5-21.sparc-solaris.mpm
Uploading package RHATrpush-3.1.5-23.sparc-solaris.mpm
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.
12.4.2.2. 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 12.5, "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.
12.4.2.3. rhnsd
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
Table 12.3. rhnsd Options
12.4.2.4. Updating From the Command Line
Like the website, command line use of the Red Hat Update Agent is affected by the limitations of
UNIX package management. That said, most core functions can still be accomplished through the
210
for instructions.
