A question came up in class- “What is a Solaris Sparse SRU?” Solaris SRU is an acronym used to describe an Oracle Support Repository Update.  These SRU’s are downloaded from Oracle’s support site and used to update a local repository which in turn is used to update the Solaris operating system.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
