Now that Sun update has been released, "smpatch update" explicitly checks for the presence of non global zones and refused to run.Now, its fairly trival to reproduce the "smpatch update" functionality from "smpatch download" which still works and a bit of scripting.Ive done this on a test ...

I noticed that smpatch order output is just opposite of the install order that smpatch update uses and is listed in patchpro_dnld_xxx Obviously one is wrong and it seems smpatch order is wrong but I didn't check further. What's up with that?# smpatch order -x idlist=analyze.lst > ...

Patch 119107-03 apparently is a download only patch for the Update Manager. Unfortunately, the readme states that patchadd is supposed to be used on the patch but I can not find a dir in /var called 119107-03. Instead I find: /var/sadm/spool/119107-03.jar. What am I supposed to do with this ...

Question:Will our ntp.conf client have a problem with Leap second?I'm assuming that everything will be fine.Thanks Marcie

I just tried to bring a newly jumpstarted machine up to date.Usually an unpatched machine can only see a subset of patches,which includes the UM patch 119107-03So you install these to update to UM and then you can install the rest,However, at the moment, I can't install 119107-03 since its got ...

I got past my earlier problems and UM is now updated to version 1.0. The issue I'm seeing now is that there are a number of patches that I've told the UM to install that indicated a restart is needed. I've restarted my system twice but the patches do not appear to be installed. In ...

On my system, /var/log is a symlink to another directory. Installation of updatemanager removed the symlink, created a new /var/log directory and made it's swupas log directories in there. This is obviously not an acceptable process (removing the symlink).

Somewhere in the portal UI I'd love to quickly see if a patch/system has a 'restart required'. Would make it easier to determine application availability on a given patch/system basis. One thing I'm always asked when I say we need to patch is "does the system have to be restarted"?

After installing patch 119107-06 I now get a "Read System Analysis Data Error" when the check for updates reaches the end of its analysis. The pop up window says:Read System Analysis Data ErrorThere is an error in reading system analysis data. Click on "Check for Updates" to restart a system ...
