[pca] OS CPU

[Xu, Ying (Houston)]

Thanks, Don.  Another question, since oracle releases OS CPU at the same
time as Oracle CPU, do you think that the QC team would test both CPUs
on the same server?  We are trying to schedule the down time for both
maintenances and try to figure out if we could combine them together.

Hi Ying,

The CPU is not related to the patchdiag.xref file at all.

The CPU is simply a snapshot of the Recommended Patch Clusters taken
once a quarter, which contains patches that fix all publicly announced
Security issues (i.e. Oracle Security Alerts) for the Solaris OS.

See http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/alerts.htm, 
http://security.sfbay.sun.com/pad.html and  
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/critical-patch-updates/
cpujul2010.html and for further information.

Best,
-Don

	I noticed that Oracle/SUN just released its first Critical Patch
Updates (CPU).  I'm not sure which xref file it uses.  Does PCA have an
option to download/patch CPU?  Its README has update date of 7/6, but
the xref file on 7/6 that I downloaded has kernel patch of 142900-14
instead of 142900-13.
	 
	Thanks.
