The experts might disagree with me, but here's what I would do:
Solaris: OS Patching Patch Pro
Download from:
http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/products/3f9d714b.html
gunzip and untar, then run setup in the ppro dir
Fix your path:
# vi /.profile
PATH=/opt/SUNWppro/bin:/usr/sadm/bin:$PATH
export PATH
MANPATH=/opt/SUNWppro/man:${MANPATH}
export MANPATH
Once installed, edit config file:
/opt/SUNWppro/etc/patchpro.conf
and ensure the following 2 lines have the proxy settings (if necessary):
patchpro.proxyserver.host=
patchpro.proxyserver.port=
Then run patch pro:
# pprosvc -i -n -c recommended
To apply a specific patch:
# pprosvc -i -p 114045-10
