smpatch: Connection Reset
We're using 112945-40 on all of our Solaris 9 systems. smpatch and pprosvc work fine on all but one of the systems.On one system, we are suddenly getting a "Connection Reset" error when trying to run either of the following commands:
smpatch analyze
pprosvc -l
There are no firewalls that could be interfering with the connection to the Sun update server.
I've tried backing the patch out and reverting to 112945-35, and that made no difference. I've tried changing the patch download directory, that made no difference. I've checked permissions on /var/sadm/spool, and they are fine.I've tried forcing a reinstall of 112945-40, and that made no difference.
The only error in /var/adm/messages is:
[ID 702911 user.error] => com.sun.patchpro.server.ServerPatchServiceProvider@1b16e52 <=ServerPatchServiceProvider.downloadFile: Unable to download to /var/sadm/spool/cache/https%3A%2F%2Fupdateserver.sun.com%2Fsolaris%2F%2Fdetecto rs.jar.
Based on that message, one might think that it is a permissions issue, however I've checked absolutely all permissions, and they are exactly the same as on our other servers where smpatch
is working correctly.
I've also examined /var/sadm/spool/cache during the download. The detectors.jar file is created, but then after the "Connection Reset" message, the jar file is deleted. So it is as if the download fails half-way through.
In any case, if anyone has any thoughts, thanks in advance.
