Needless to say how convenient is to add essential packages and patches at install time.
The most critical patch is the one related to "Update Connection System Client".
Without it, a Solaris 10 update 10 system cannot get further updates.
See Solaris 10 smpatch configuration for more information.
121119-20 has been validated.
# unzip -q /patch/121119-20.zip -d /patch
# rm /patch/121119-20.zip
It may be worthy to immediately make sure "Live Upgrade" is up-to-date.
# smpatch download -d /patch -f -i 121431 (or 121430 for SPARC)
121431-84 has been validated.
# unzip -q /patch/121431-84.zip -d /patch
# rm /patch/121431-84.zip
You can do the same for the "Common Agent Container (cacao)":
123896 for X86 or 123893 for SPARC.
For options and architectures of third-party general purpose packages to add go to:
- Sunfreeware (specially Solaris 10 Companion CD/DVD Project)
- Blastwave
To me, the most essential of such packages to put (uncompressed) in /package are:
If you have a support contract then you'll be able to add even more.
For example, to add STB (Service Tools Bundle):
- Download it from the My Oracle Support;
- Extract it to a temporary directory;
- Copy install_stb.sh to /jumpstart/extras
- Make sure to make it executable (a+x).
