5 Applicability This presentation describes the generic Recommended Patching Strategy for Solaris 10 systems An alternative maintenance regime which takes precedence over this strategy may be prescribed for specific systems 5

6 Recommended Patching Strategy When to apply Major upgrade maintenance windows will typically be dictated by your business constraints Often associated with hardware roll-outs Every 18 to 24 months is recommended Minor patching maintenance windows should be scheduled for every 3 months Align with the Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) release schedule so you can update the rest of your Oracle stack at the same time CPUs are released on the Tuesday closest to the 17 th of January, April, July, and October See Reactive patching may occasionally be necessary to address break-and-fix issues 6

7 Recommended Patching Strategy What to apply Apply latest Solaris 10 Update release in major maintenance windows A Solaris 10 Update is a full release image containing new features with all available patches pre-applied Provides functionally rich, intensely tested, high quality, and high performance software baselines on which to standardize deployments Can install or upgrade to a Solaris Update release Alternatively, use the Solaris Update Patch Bundle to bring all pre-existing packages up to the same software level as the corresponding Solaris Update Recommend customers be on a Solaris 10 Update or Solaris Update Patch Bundle released in the last 2 years 7

8 Recommended Patching Strategy Solaris Update Patch Bundles Patches pre-existing packages to the same software level as the corresponding Solaris Update release For example, all ZFS and Zones functionality available in patches /etc/release updated to show both the original release and the Solaris Update Patch Bundle patch level Not the same as upgrading to, or fresh install of a Solaris Update release Patch Bundles do not include new, deleted, or up'rev'd packages Some new functionality may depend on new packages Some new hardware may only be supported from a specific Solaris Update release forward 8

9 Recommended Patching Strategy Apply latest Solaris 10 OS Recommended Patch Cluster Minimum amount of change to get critical Solaris 10 OS Security, Data Corruption, and System Availability fixes Archived quarterly as the Oracle Solaris 10 Critical Patch Update (CPU) Enterprise Installation Standards (EIS) includes a superset of the Recommended Patch Cluster, and is available as a monthly patch baseline in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center Recommend customers be on a Solaris 10 OS Recommended Patch Cluster, CPU, or EIS Patch Baseline released within the last 6 months 9

10 Recommended Patching Strategy Apply latest firmware updates Firmware updates are increasingly important for SPARC, especially T-series, as well as x86, to: Provide functional enhancements, e.g. Oracle VM for SPARC Resolve many key issues, often misdiagnosed as hardware failures Deliver significant performance gains Provide better diagnostics Storage devices, etc., may need firmware updates too Oracle Sun QA teams test hardware, software, and patches against the latest firmware Recommend customers be on firmware released within the last 6 months 10

11 Recommended Patching Strategy Apply any additional Solaris 10 OS patches required to fix issues specific to your environment Apply updates for other software and hardware Quarterly released Critical Patch Updates (CPUs) for the rest of the Oracle Stack Updates for 3 rd party software and hardware Note that some 3 rd party and community based software shipped with Solaris may deliver bug fixes via upgrading the package versions rather than via applying patches 11

12 Recommended Patching Strategy Where to get patches and updates Oracle Solaris Update releases Search for Oracle Solaris on My Oracle Support (MOS) is the one stop shop for all your support needs, including patches and knowledge articles You need an Oracle support contract Flash (full functionality): Html (limited functionality): wget downloads: See 12

13 Recommended Patching Strategy How to apply Get your tools in order first Always install the latest patch and package utility patches before installing any other patches This is done automatically when applying the Solaris OS Recommended Patch Cluster, Solaris CPU, or Solaris Update Patch Bundle Install the latest Oracle Solaris 10 Live Upgrade (LU) patches if using Live Upgrade Install the latest updates for any patch automation tool used 13

14 Recommended Patching Strategy Apply patches and upgrades to an Inactive Boot Environment to minimize risk and downtime Avoids the need to follow some of the Special Install Instructions contained in patch READMEs Provides simple rollback mechanism Use Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade (LU) for most environments In Oracle Solaris Cluster environments, a rolling update of the cluster nodes may be preferred 14

15 Recommended Patching Strategy Mitigating risk through Integrated Stack Testing Hardware. Software. Complete. Oracle Solaris 10 Update releases and patches are tested as part of Oracle Integrated Stack Testing (OIST) Designed to minimize risk, deployment times, and TCO while maximizing performance, availability, and robustness 15

16 Recommended Patching Strategy How to further mitigate risk? Oracle Solaris, coupled with 3 rd party products and customer apps, provides virtually infinite configurability A customer test environment which closely mimics your production environment is an excellent way to further mitigate risk Should include functional, peak load, and stress testing 16

17 Oracle Solaris 10 Recommended Patching Strategy Summary Major Maintenance Windows Minor Maintenance Windows Reactive Patching Frequency Every 18 to 24 months Every 3 months, aligned to CPU schedule As necessary Install latest patch utility patches Yes Yes Yes Use Live Upgrade or rolling Cluster node upgrade Yes Yes Yes Apply Solaris Update or Solaris Update Patch Bundle Yes Apply Recommended Patch Cluster, CPU, or EIS patch baseline Yes Yes Update Firmware Yes Yes If applicable Apply any other patches required Yes Yes Yes 17

18 Recommended Patching Strategy Oracle provides proactive services and tools to save you time and money in maintaining systems Oracle Sun Management and Diagnostic tools See Oracle Sun System Analysis identifies known issues, including security, data corruption, and availability risk associated with specific systems See Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) for Sun Systems See Oracle Services Tools Bundle (STB) See Oracle Shared Shell See Advanced Customer Services (ACS) See or contact 18

19 Recommended Patching Strategy Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 11g, Automatically downloads all firmware and patches to your site Covers T, M, and X-series h/w, disk, & RAID Controller firmware Offers Enterprise Class deployment features such as rollback and support for Live Upgrade along with audit and policy control Leverages enhanced dependency and Special Instructions metadata Integrates telemetry and knowledge from the independent government approved common vulnerability repository at mitre.org TM Offers built in profiles to check OS level patches Integrates OS level patch compliance reports with Enterprise Manager Grid Control Oracle Applications Violations for a single Oracle stack compliance report Facilitates the usage of single software compliance statements that span multiple Operating Systems Facilitates the creation of Service Requests (SRs) 19

20 Agenda Strategy Recommended Patching Strategy Patching Strategy Considerations Objective Advantages of Recommended Patch Strategy Why not apply all patches? What about the timing of patch application? What about patch quality? The next generation: Image Packaging System Further information 20

21 Patching Strategy Considerations Typical objective is to maximize production system availability, security, and performance by optimizing proactive maintenance to prevent issues Change implies risk Minimizing risk is not as simple as minimizing change Need to consider the best tested and best quality baselines upon which to standardize deployments Prevention is better than cure - scheduled proactive maintenance windows are usually significantly less costly than reactive break-and-fix maintenance A homogeneous environment helps reduce complexity, and hence TCO 21

22 Patching Strategy Considerations Each Solaris Update includes all bug fixes available at the time it was built Solaris Updates are intensely tested by many teams across Oracle and so provide a good quality baseline upon which to standardize deployments The Solaris OS Recommended Patch Cluster provides critical Solaris OS Security, Data Corruption, and System Availability fixes Provides critical fixes in minimum amount of change Includes fixes released since latest Solaris Update contents were finalized Tested as a unit as well as individual patches Sophisticated install script 22

23 Patching Strategy Considerations Advantages of Recommended Patching Strategy Risk minimization sweet spot Safety in numbers Issues likely to be caught and resolved quickly Contrast to dim sum patching where you pick and choose patch combinations Likely to result in unique software combinations Rigorous Oracle Sun patch processes ensure issues are very rare Issues may be unique, making them more difficult to diagnose and reproduce, leading to delays in resolution 23

24 Patching Strategy Considerations Why not apply all patches? Applying all patches is a perfectly reasonable strategy Code changes in patches go through an intensive review, verification, and test process All patches included in each Solaris Update release and Solaris Update Patch Bundle Most bug fixes are for corner case issues which only occur in highly specific configurations Debatable whether applying corner case fixes for all configurations in between Solaris Update releases is the optimal system maintenance strategy to minimize risk and maximize system availability 24

25 Patching Strategy Considerations What about timing of patch application? Patches are intensely tested, but issues specific to certain configurations can still occur occasionally Some customers like to wait until a patch has been released for a period of time before applying it unless it fixes an urgent security issue Analysis of the time between patch release and the withdrawal of problematic patches shows no correlation to any sweet spot, although pervasive issues are usually found within 10 days of release 25

26 Patching Strategy Considerations What about patch quality? Oracle Sun releases over 4,000 patches every year A patch is withdrawn if it does more harm than good for the majority of customers. Just 17 have been withdrawn after release in the last year. Configuration specific issues are documented in the Special Install Instructions section of patch READMEs Security issues are announced in Critical Patch Updates and or via the security blog, for 3 rd party components An Alert will be issued for Data Corruption or System Availability issues See Alerts under the MOS Knowledge tab 26
