[pca] Installation of patch need single user mode

[Studer Olivier]

Hi,

Thanks for this good information of using this tool. I have an other question.

They are an option to install only the patch downloaded before if the network is up?

Regards
/Olivier

pca runs fine in single user mode, and if you can afford the downtime, installing patches like that is the safest method anyway.

It might be best to pre-download patches to a directory in the root-partition while still in multi-user mode, like:

   mkdir /patches
   cd /patches
   pca --download

So it doesn't depend on a network connection - although I think that in recent versions of Solaris the network is up by default in single user mode, too.
