Problems patching Solaris 10 system with zones
Hi all,
i'm unable to finish a patchinstall job on a Solarsi 10 system with one local zone. While trying to install April 2007 security baseline on global zone i get this error (from the log):
... snip ...

zoneadm: zone netconnect_test failed to verify

halting/booting this local zone by hand works very well and with no problems.
/home0/zones/test exists.
Any idea?
Thanks
S.

This is a problem with patchadd and not really with SC per se'. The file systems that your local zone's are mounted from (/home0/zones/test) is not reachable while this patch is being applied. (I'm assuming you're doing this in single user mode? Please confirm).
While the patchadd bug gets fixed, there will also be a separate fix for SC for this in the upcoming maintenance release 1.1.1, where it will check for these zonepaths before trying to patch them.
If you're not doing this in single user mode, then it might be a different issue.

Quite strange: patching manually works fine:

Still a patchadd problem?
