I wanted to get feedback on what other are doing when installing patches. For hosts in the environment I am trying to decide if I simply install all patches or missingrs? I am aware of the added time and somewhat risk that installing all introduces, but I have not had a problem and it seems to be "best practice". Which one would be closer to the patch cluster? <br>
<br>Also, I have a number of DMZ hosts, as well as hosts on the private networks that cannot access our proxy server to download the patchdiag.xref file, when I run the pca command. If I copy the file manually to the /var/tmp/ is works fine. I am wondering if there is an option I can use to have the client try to download the latest file and if not use a default location. I am aware of the -X (--xrefdir) option but I would like to use this as a secondary should the download of the latest file fail. I have been a able to accomplish this with <br>
<br>pca --dltries=1 -X=/location_to_file<br><br>Is there a "cleaner" way? <br><br>
