SunSolve patch-IDs consist of a 6-digit number followed by a dash and a two-digit number (XXXXXX-YY). The 6-digit number is the base number of the patch, and the two-digit number (YY) is the revision of that patch. Each new patch-ID always starts with version -01. For most OBP and Sun System Firmware (SysFW) releases, Sun dedicates a single SunSolve base patch-ID to a single MINOR release family of a single server system. For example, the Sun Fire T1000 server has had releases spanning six minor versions, as shown in Table 1.
