Identifying the Version of Your Solaris 8 Maintenance Update

To identify the version of your Solaris 8 MU software, type:

# cat /etc/release

To identify the patches the MU software applied to your system, type:

# showrev -p

Note - If you compare the showrev -p output from applying the Solaris 8 MU7 software to the showrev -p output from installing the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment, you will note that the following patches are not applied in the MU7 installation:

• Solaris 8 MU7 SPARC Platform Edition:

  • 109244-02

  • 109718-01

  • 110423-03

  • 111359-02

  • 111360-02

  • 111382-01

  • 111415-04

  • 111661-01

  • 111760-02

  • 111995-02

  • 112001-02

  • 112082-02

• Solaris 8 MU7 Intel Platform Edition:

  • 110424-03

  • 111662-01

  • 111761-02

  • 112000-01

  • 112002-01

  • 112083-03

These patches are needed to generate the Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment, but are not needed to apply the Solaris 8 MU7 patches.
