Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Install patches using offline volumes
You can install Solaris patches using offline volumes. This section assumes you are familiar with Solaris Volume Manager.
A sample script is available so that you can modify it and use it to install Solaris patches using offline volumes.
To install Solaris patches using offline volumes:
- Create a Solaris patch policy that contains the patches you want to install on the server. See Create a Solaris patch policy.
- Create a disk mirror on the server being patched.
- Split the mirror.
- Mount the offline disk.
- Create a text file on the server named
/etc/opt/opsware/agent/offline_disk
. - Edit this file and enter the mount point of the offline disk, such as
/alt
. -
Remediate the server against the patch policy to install the patches on the server.
SA installs the patches to the offline disk at the offline disk mount point listed in the file
/etc/opt/opsware/agent/offline_disk
. - Reboot the server to the newly patched offline disk.
- Verify that the patches are installed on the patched disk and that the server is running properly.
-
If the patched disk is behaving as expected, sync the mirror.
If the patched disk is not behaving as expected, reboot the system to the original disk and sync the mirrors.
