Creating a baseline for single-user mode

Create a baseline to modify a Solaris patch Fixlet for single-user mode.

Note: Your BigFix deployment must include a subscription to the Patches for Solaris site to complete the following tasks.
Perform the following steps for each Solaris patch Fixlet that you want to apply in single-user mode.
  1. Click the Tools menu at the top of the BigFix console and select Create New Baseline.

  4. On the Components tab, add the following items to Component Group 1 and ensure that they are ordered as follows:
    1. The Single-User Mode Task - Solaris (ID #28 in the Patches for Solaris site).
    2. One or more Solaris Patch Fixlets available in the Patches for Solaris site.
    3. Depending on the requirements of the patch, choose either:
      • Reboot Task - Solaris (ID #32 in the Patches for Solaris site)
      • Reconfigure Reboot Task - Solaris (ID #30 in the Patches for Solaris site)
  5. Click OK and enter your Private Key Password. You can now apply the baseline to the Solaris patches that you specified in Single User mode.
