BigAdmin just announced a new Ask the Experts session on the topic of patching Solaris. These Expert sessions give you the chance to ask questions about the topic directly to people at Sun best qualified to answer them. See XPerts Session.
BTW, there are transcripts at the site for previous Ask the Expert sessions.
While we're on the subject of BigAdmin, there are several information hubs there with Solaris information. One is the Solaris Information Center. There is also the Solaris Cluster hub.
The biggest news on BigAdmin as far as Solaris is concerned is the new Patching hub.
Other high points that you'll also see on BigAdmin is documentation for the newly released Solaris 8 Migration Assistant, The Management of NFS Performance with Solaris ZFS, and the Solaris Trusted Extensions FAQ.
One last thing, if you have anything you'd like me to post here, leave a comment.
Hello to all,
I have tried other unixes and Solaris is the hardest one to get up to date (my opinion). I have tried several forms to update my solaris with smpatch or patchadd but I haven't found a way of automate this process. Teorectly, "smpatch update" should do this work correctly. I have read that the best way is to download (smpatch download) and then do a "patchadd". Could anyone tell me how do I update my solaris like, e.g., MacOSX?

Nuno,
I don't know the answer to your question. Can you put it to the experts at the BigAdmin Ask the Experts session on patching? They should be able to answer it for you.
Jim
