smpatch does not add 108993-49 to /var/sadm/spool/disallowed_patch_list

Dear Patch folks,

we use smpatch to analyze and patch Solaris 8/SPARC systems. While running 'smpatch update' in MultiUser-mode a list of prohibited patches is generated in file /var/sadm/spool/disallowed_patch_list. We then use 'smpatch add -x idlist=/var/sadm/spool/disallowed_patch_list' to install these remaining patches in SingleUser-mode. However, Patch 108993-49 is disallowed with 'smpatch update' but also not added to /var/sadm/spool/disallowed_patch_list. We then have to do a 'smpatch add -i 108993-49' by hand/script.

My question:

Is this behaviour by design or is something going wrong with 108993-49 ?

greetings

Martin

Dear Martin,

This forum doesnt actually support the patches and is instead for support of the Sun Update Connection software which is only for use with Solaris 10 at present. As such I believe that you are more likely to get a response to your question if you contact the appropriate patch teams or perhaps try posting your query in one of the other forums.
