Hi MQ Experts,
I'm told to install WebSphere MQ 5.3 on Sun 5.9 box. Before I install it, my task is to find out what OS patches have already installed on the box.
Quick Begining for Solaris does not mentioned what patches required for Solaris 5.9 OS.
Can somebody help me out where to find out the required patches for WMQ 5.3 on Solaris 5.9.
Quick Begining for Solaris does mentioned required patches for Solaris 8 or 9. Where I can find the same information for older solaris OS versions?
I tried pkginfo -i command but it does not helped me.
Also I like to find a command to find out all installed patches on Solaris box.
Any help would be highly appreciated |

Tell them you don't think they should be asking you to install an unsupported version of MQ.
Install 6.0 and then apply the 6.0.2.2 patch.

Also, if the Quick Beginnings Guide only mentioned Solaris 8 and 9, what makes you think it CAN run on Solaris 5.9?
Or that ANY version of MQ CAN run on such an old OS?
The whole notion is bad from the start.

I should have expected something like that from Sun, who bring us Java 6 that is JDK 1.6.

Exactly!
The command "uname -a" yields output like this:
SunOS <hostname> 5.9 Generic_118558-28 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490
I think the deal is that "SunOS 5.9" is marketed as "Solaris 9". |

No. Sol 8 was SunOS 5.8, Sol 10 is SunOS 5.10. Just their screwy way of numbering things. |

I don't know that Solaris has a 'patch level', per se. It's just lots and lots of patches. Bruce, is that right?
You can see patches with 'showrev -p', but the ouput is incomprehensible to me.
I wonder how they will market SunOS 6.x? As Solaris-The-Next-Generation?  |

NCC-1701E? No, that's taken.
Vista? No, that's taken too...
Leopard? No, that's taken too...
