Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 Kernel PatchID Sequence
As mentioned in a previous posting, the practice of patch "rejuvenation" to break out large complex patches (typically Kernel patches) into smaller, simpler components going forward has a side effect of making it difficult to follow the sequence of PatchIDs. If you have the parent patch (e.g. an old Kernel patch), it's not obvious which child patches supercede the parent (e.g. what's the latest Kernel PatchID) as the parent isn't obsoleted by rejuvenation. Instead, the children of the rejuvenation each specify a Requirement on the parent patch from which they were rejuvenated.
I've listed the Solaris 10 Kernel PatchID Sequence in a previous posting. For the sake of completeness, here's the Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 Kernel PatchID Sequences (with the most current PatchID top of the list):
Solaris 8 Kernel PatchID Sequence
| SPARC | x86 |
| 117350-01 to -xx | 117351-01 to -xx |
| requires | requires |
| 117000-01 to -05 | 117001-01 to -05 |
| requires | requires |
| 108528-01 to -29 | 108529-01 to 29 |
Solaris 9 Kernel PatchID Sequence
| SPARC | x86 |
| 122300-02 to -xx | 122301-02 to -xx |
| requires | requires |
| 118558-01 to -39 | 118559-01 to -39 |
| requires | requires |
| 117171-01 to -17 | 117172-17 only |
| requires | obsoletes |
| 112233-01 to -12 | 112234-04 to -11 |
I want to know th major Virsion of the Solaris 8 117350-01 to -25
and Solaris 8 11700-01 to -05

Hi Hikasa!
Can you please clarify what you mean by "major version" as I do not understand the question ?
Thanks,
Gerry.
