Check Solaris Patches with smpatchcheck

SiteMinder provides a utility, called smpatchcheck, that checks whether or not you have the Solaris patches required for the Policy Server and Web Agent installed on your system. Smpatchcheck can be run on the Solaris versions listed on the SiteMinder Platform Matrix. To access this matrix, go to Technical Support and search for the SiteMinder Platform Support Matrix.

To use smpatchcheck

1. Navigate to siteminder_home/bin
   • siteminder_home

     Specifies the Policy Server installation path.

2. Enter smpatchcheck.

   Smpatchcheck looks for each required/recommended patch and then displays its status.

   For example:

   Testing for Required Patches:
     Testing for Patch: 106327-09 ... NOT Installed
   Testing for Recommended Patches:
     Testing for Patch: 106541-08 ... Installed
     Testing for Patch: 106980-00 ... Installed
   SiteMinder Patch Check: Failed
   

Smpatchcheck returns one of the following messages:

• Failed

  One or more of the required patches is not installed.

• Partially Failed

  One or more of the recommended patches is not installed.

• Success

  All of the required and recommended patches are installed.
