SGI IRIX 6.5 (32-bit and 64-bit) requires no operating system patches to run Adaptive Server components.
If you are using the SGI Database Accelerator (DBA) and are at IRIX version 6.5 without updates, update the operating system with a maintenance or feature release. The maintenance and the feature releases are at SGI support page. Before upgrading, read general upgrade information at SGI upgrades information page.
