/nfs/cspkit and follow the following steps to install it:


Patch required on Management Server (if used) : YES 
Patch required on Domains                     : YES 


1) Verify that it is possible to install the patches as follows:

   On the Management Server (if used)

   #/usr/sbin/sc_dupatch -install -kit /nfs/patch/patch_kit -name <Engineer name>
    -note <verification> -noroll -nolevel2 -noauto -precheck_only -patch C1411.00

   On Domains:

   # sra command -domains all -member 1 -command '/usr/sbin/sc_dupatch -install
     -kit /nfs/patch/patch_kit -name <Engineer name> -note <verification> -noroll -nolevel2
     -noauto -precheck_only -patch C1411.00'
 

2) Now run the patch installation as follows:


  On the Management Server (if Used):
  -----------------------------------

   Install the patch using the following commands:


   #/usr/sbin/sc_dupatch -install -kit /nfs/patch/patch_kit -name <Engineer name>
    -note  <verification> -noroll -nolevel2 -noauto -patch C1411.00

   Rebuild your kernel
   # doconfig -c HOSTNAME
   Copy the new kernel to /vmunix
   Reboot the machine
   # shutdown -r now


  On Domains:
  -----------
   Install the patch using the following commands:

   # sra command -domains all -member 1 -command '/usr/sbin/sc_dupatch -install
     -kit /nfs/patch/patch_kit -name <Engineer name> -note <verification> -noroll -nolevel2
     -noauto -patch C1411.00'

   Now Build and Deploy the Kernels:
   Make sure all nodes are up so that kernels will be built on all nodes

   # scrun -d all BuildKernels
   # scrun -d all DeployKernels

   Reboot the domains:
   # sra shutdown -domains all
   # sra boot -domains all


Installation is complete at this point.


Once the patch is installed and you are satisfied that it is working correctly
the GENERIC kernels should also be updated, using the following command:

    # scrun -d all DeployKernels -g
