This routine installs the packages and patches that

make up Sun StorEdge SAN.

Would you like to continue with the installation?

Taken from sunsolve, maybe useful for you.

Installing StorEdge SAN patches -

patch 114475-01 : Installed Successfully

patch 113767-02 : Installed Successfully

patch 113766-02 : Installed Successfully

patch 111847-07 : Installed Successfully

patch 114877-01 : install_it: Patchadd failed with a status of 8

This software failed to completly install.

It may not be safe for the system to remain in this undetermined state.

Would you like to rollback your changes ? [y,n,?]

Resolution:Top

Normally, this is the recommended action. But if the patch

that fails to install is 114877-xx or 114878-xx, then a

rollback may not be necessary.

Both 114877-xx (Solaris 8) and 114878-xx (Solaris 9) patches the following

packages: SUNWjfca, SUNWjfcax, SUNWjfcau, and SUNWjfcaux.

The packages and patches are drivers for the JNI 2GB PCI Single FC Network

Adapter and JNI 2GB PCI Dual FC Network Adapter fibre-channel that have

Sun StorEdge SAN 4.x Foundation Suite compatible FCODE.

If server does not have this type of host bus adapter, then SUNWjfca,

SUNWjfcax, SUNWjfcau, and SUNWjfcaux packages are not installed on

the system. The patch will fail to install causing install_it script

to prompt for a rollback.

For this specific situation, it is okay to respond no to the rollback

and let install_it script proceed to completion as the patch is not

required.

Would you like to rollback your changes ? [y,n,?] n

The error code means that the installation program is exiting because the package is already installed. Follow the SAN Foundation kit documentation for installation and configuration.

http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/Network_Storage_Solutions /SAN/san_software/index.html

BTW. The system Kernel patch is obsolete and the JNI information is not applicable here as the probe shows a Qlogic HBA. Patch the system, If you run into any issues post back and I'll help you.

Thanks m-mennon

In the end I wiped the server installed a fresh copy on solaris9 patched it with the latest sun cluster_patch and the install_it script worked. As it is test box I could do it this way. Next week i'll have to do the same on a live server. What confused me was even through the patch was already install it should of still continued install the rest of the patches but it just stopped and didn't bother checking if the rest of the patches were installed. Do you have a specific process when you put a server on the San should I do a cluster patch install before I start any of this?.

Thanks for all your help
