Newer version of Sol9 besides 12/02?

[dsullinger]

We pay for a Silver support contract with Sun for all of our Servers and Workstations, but Sun is pretty bad about "not" sending out OS updates. The last version of Solaris 9 they shipped us was the 12/02 release... has anyone received a later release at this point? I can't believe over a year has passed and they haven't released a newer version. I've checked out the Sun web site and I didn't see a current release version for 9 anyplace, so I'm not sure what they are on at this time.

Thanks

Only Major releases of Solaris are shipped as a push version, So when Solaris10 comes out, you will get one automatically.

Update versions of Solaris (aka hardware releases) are called pull releases, you need to request them, or via your SAM or TAM, or just call support center.

Every 3 months your the software contact attached to your contract will receive a small card, where to request that HW update, This card ends up mostly at the purchasing department, they don't know what to do with this card, and throw it away. Don't blame Sun for that.

I just downlaoded it from the net.

Any talk as of when release 10 will be out?
