Sun Solaris 10 has been around for over four years now. Over this period of time, Sun has released several updates for Solaris 10. It is often confusing to decipher which release “update” is tied to the “month & year” of Solaris 10. Below is a paragraph detailing the Solaris 10 Updates and their month/year.

1. Solaris 10 – Update 1 – 1/06
2. Solaris 10 – Update 2 – 6/06
3. Solaris 10 – Update 3 – 11/06
4. Solaris 10 – Update 4 – 08/07
5. Solaris 10 – Update 5 – 05/08
6. Solaris 10 – Update 6 – 10/08
7. Solaris 10 – Update 7 – 05/09
8. Solaris 10 – Update 8 – 10/09

Type `cat /etc/release` to figure out which OS release the server is currently running.

Remember, applying the latest patch cluster set to Solaris does not mean Solaris now has new features included with the latest OS release.

For example, if you want the newest features in Solaris 10 Update 8, you will need to install Solaris 10 Update 8 not install the latest patch cluster set on your currently running Solaris 10 Update 3 server.
