pca -d <kernel-patch-001>

pca -i <kernel-patch-001>

Do this for all 3 kernel patches.

Make sure that you DO NOT install kernel patches in multi-user mode.

In single user mode, turn on inet so that pca can download it from your PCA
Proxy or SunSolve.

I always patch my production server using LU Process.

Hope this helps.
