You should go to sunsolve page and download appropriate "Solaris Update Patch Bundle" then apply the patch bundle

I don`t thinks that solaris patchbundles are accessible to public without support contract...

I was able to upgrade u4 to u8 using live_upgrade. It took a couple of days (mainly because I had to schedule some down time) but it works.

Simply patching the OS doesn't work because there are packages in later updates that are not in earlier updates and you can't patch a package that isn't installed.

HTH

Of course not :smiley:
