PatchPro is a patch-management tool that eases the selection and download of
patches required for installation or maintenance of Sun Cluster software. PatchPro
provides an Interactive Mode tool especially for Sun Cluster. The Interactive Tool
makes the installation of patches easier. PatchPro’s Expert Mode tool helps you to
maintain your configuration with the latest set of patches. Expert Mode is
especially useful for obtaining all of the latest patches, not just the high availability
and security patches.
To access the PatchPro tool for Sun Cluster software, go to
http://www.sun.com/PatchPro/, click Sun Cluster, then choose either Interactive
Mode or Expert Mode. Follow the instructions in the PatchPro tool to describe your
cluster configuration and download the patches.
