Base Versions of Linux Distributions Shipped By
Sun Must Be Upgraded to Receive Full Sun
Support
The RHEL3, RHEL4, and SLES9 CDs that you can purchase from Sun are the base
(initial-release) versions of those operating systems (OSs) and are not the latest
updated versions of those OS’s. Although Sun will support customers to help them
install these base versions from the shipped media, customers are expected to
immediately upgrade to RHEL3 U6, RHEL4 U3, and SLES9 SP2 to get full Sun
support for servers running those OS’s.
■
If you download these Linux OS’s from the manufacturer’s web site, you will get
the latest distribution, with no upgrades necessary.
■
If you purchased one of these Linux OS’s from Sun, do the following:
1. Go to Sun’s download site for these platforms and download the latest Sun
Installation Assistant software. The latest version, 1.1.6, is designed to support
installation of the base versions of the Linux OS’s.
2. Burn the new SIA software to CD.
3. Use the new SIA CD you burned to install the version of the OS that you received
from Sun.
