(When I laid it out, my sysadmin seemed to think moving to Solaris 9 was easier....) If you don't plan to set sga_max_size, you won't be bitten by the DISM bug, but, there my be other features that need other patches applied to work correctly. My recommendation, go to Solaris 9 before you go to Oracle 9iR2. -Mark On Tue, 2005-01-11 at 13:55, Hubler, Daniel wrote: > We are preparing for our upgrade from v8.1.7.2 to v9.2.0.x on > Solaris 8. > We have successfully installed (and migrated) the database on a test > machine > from v8.1.7.2 to v9.2.0.1. > > We are now attempting to install patchset 9.2.0.6. > As soon as we launch the installer, messages are returned to the > command line telling us that a bunch of Solaris patches are missing. > > Did not expect to see that. > > I do not recall seeing anything during the install or upgrade to > v9.2.0.1 about > additional patches required. > > We are at Solaris 8 and kernel patch 108528-29. > > Anybody seen this before or know what is going on? > > Thanks. > > > > -- > http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- Mark J.
