Application of the latest patch cluster for Solaris 9 using a custom
script that weeds out non-applicable patches for the given system.
E.g. non-applicable hardware drivers, arch patches, etc.

The U5s, on the other hand, are start and go to sleep type events. :-/

I hadn't realized that the SB1Ks were FCAL.  Do you know if that is
the default, or an optional configuration?
