azlabs: How to patch Sun Portal Server in Application Server Cluster

Thursday, September 3, 2009

I forgot to mention how to verify whether or not the Sun Portal patch has been applied successfully in my last post.

Verify patch level prior to patchadd

root@portal # /opt/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin --version --adminuser amadmin
Fri Aug 10 11:15:27 PDT 2007 Sun Java(tm) System Portal Server 7.1

Verify patch level after patchadd

root@portal # /opt/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin --version --adminuser amadmin
Wed Mar 11 13:08:16 PST 2009 Sun Java(tm) System Portal Server 7.1

You can also use showrev -p to verify at Solaris system level. Read here. Look out for this patch number for x86 platform -- 124302-13.
