Solaris Patch Requirements and Descriptions

Note: Some patches are required on the SERVER (the computer which users login to, to run Rose for UNIX/Linux) and the CLIENT (the computer which is used to display Rose for UNIX/Linux), and some are required only on the CLIENT. In some cases, the SERVER and CLIENT are the same computer, but often several users login to one SERVER (to run the application) and have their own displays which serve as their CLIENT. The following SUN Solaris patch recommendations are specific to SUN Solaris SERVERS and CLIENTS. Each patch mentioned is defined as either a "SERVER and CLIENT" patch, or as a "CLIENT" patch.

• You must be willing to pay for patch to receive it.

Notes

How to detect a graphics card on a Sun Solaris computer:

% ls /dev/fbs/*

/dev/fbs/m640 - PGX graphics card

/dev/fbs/afb* - Elite3D graphics card

/dev/fbs/ffb* - Creator/Creator3D graphics card

/dev/fbs/cgsix* - GX graphics card

/dev/fbs/leo* - ZX graphics card

/dev/fbs/sx* - SX graphics card

/dev/fbs/tcx* - TCX graphics card

/dev/fbs/gfx* - GFX graphics card

Errors Encountered if Correct SUN Solaris Runtime Not Installed

A user will encounter the following error if the appropriate Sun Solaris runtime patches are not installed:

ld.so.1: exe_name: fatal: libCrun.so.1: open failed: No such file or 
directory

Displaying on Ultrabook, Using PGX Graphics Card

A CDE crash may occur when displaying Rose for UNIX/Linux on a Ultrabook using a PGX Graphics Card, if SUN Solaris patch 105362-26 is installed.

If using a PGX Graphics Card, we recommend that SUN Solaris patch 105362-20 be installed as this is the latest version tested and determined to be compatible with this release.

If you encounter the CDE crash, uninstall patch 105362-26 and if possible install "105362-20". If SUN Solaris patch "105362-20" is not installed, the following may occur:

• GUI Hanging Issues
• Paint Problems (i.e. black/white regions may appear in menus, dialog boxes, toolbars, etc.)

If you uninstall patch 105362-26 and encounter any of the issues described above, contact Rational Technical Support if patch 105362-20 is not available.

Support for the PGX32 Add-on Board

If your client computer has the PGX32 add-on board (based on the Permedia 2 chip), you need to install the drivers and patches for this card. You cannot see the device in the /dev/fbs directory unless the drivers are installed.

Contact Rational Technical Support if you require information in relation to the SUN Solaris drivers or patches for the PGX32 add-on board.
