Hello, this weekend I was given the task of upgrading to the latest
Recommended patch level
to 3 machines, 2 x 3500 and 1 x 4500 , one of the 3.5k has a A5000
installed and the 4500 has an
5200 installed.
This latest patch version installed on this machines were in 1998, all
are using Sol 2.6
the 3.5k + A5k is using Volume Manager 2.54

my question is, the patch cluster is enough to install ?
there are certain patches for obp, and firmware updates ,ONE patch
requires the 105375 , this one require a lot of patches in chain (
109400 ->103346->105356->105357-> "105375" -> 109962 ) in that order
without reboot the machine after all of them are installed.
I have only 2 hours for the three servers to install the recommended
cluster, the firmware recommendation askme of use some of the old
version of the patches first and the go to the latest, I can't find the
version that they ask.

Do I need to upgrade all this firmware to install the Patch Cluster ?

Do I need special considerations , cause they use VxVM one machine with
2.5 and one with 3.0.4 ?

any ideas, special thoughts will be apreciatted

I Will summarize !
