Patching a Miniroot Image on the Solaris 10 OS

In this article, a Sun engineer describes how to install the latest Kernel Update patch, or any patch, with a SPARC or x86 miniroot image for the JumpStart installation program. (The Solaris 10 5/08 OS is used here, but the procedure is similar for other Solaris 10 releases.)

LOFS Mounted Platform-Specific Routine Libraries With CMT UltraSPARC Systems

The concept of a platform-specific routine (PSR) library, already found with the Solaris 10 OS, is extended on chip multithreading (CMT) systems using UltraSPARC processors. On these systems, PSR capability has been enhanced to support multiple PSR versions: one per processor, per platform. This allows a platform to support multiple processors, and each processor can be optimally utilized.
