7 System Requirements
The following are the system requirements for this patch set:
-
Operating System: Solaris 8, Solaris 9 - Patch#112874-39, or Solaris 10 - patch#127111-02.
-
Oracle Database 10g (10.2.0.1) or later
If we search for this patch in Sunsolve patch finder we learn that it has been Obsoleted by: 127111-03 SunOS 5.10: kernel patch. If you find 127111-03 in the same place, it is obsoleted by 127111-05. This goes on till 127111-11 which is obsoleted by 127127-11. Thankfully this patch is not yet obsolete. So apply 127127-11 on your Solaris 10 box before applying 10.2.0.4 patchset. The detail from Sun about this patchset is here.
I am also providing the patch obsolescence tree here which leads us to 127127-11:
127111-02 obsoleted by
127111-03 obsoleted by
127111-05 obsoleted by
127111-06 obsoleted by

127111-09 obsoleted by
127111-10 obsoleted by
127111-11 obsoleted by
127127-11 Not yet obsolete
I got this validated by Oracle on an SR, where they advised us to go with the latest OS patch which is not yet obsolete:

Installing 10.2.0.4 on Solaris64, should I apply Solaris Patch 127127-11 instead of the 127111-02 version specified in the patchset readme ?
