[pca] reconfig required

[Shawn Singh]

Hello List,

I'm new to the list and fairly new to administering Solaris. My question is
with regard to patching. When I do a --pretend run to see what will require
a reboot, I note that some patches recommend doing a reconfig.

Not sure what needed to be done in those cases, I've done some searching and
found an article where there was some discussion about whether or not one
should perform a 'boot -r' after patching. In the article, the respondants
were mainly talking about patchadd, and some brief mention of smpatch and
from reading it, I got the impression that each application handles
reconfiguration differently (how much differently, I don't know). In the
case of PCA, once I run it and it has updated my system, do I need to
reconfigure the system (reboot it, and use boot -r)?

Thanks,

Shawn
