SMPATCH / SMC BROKEN
I am having a lot of issues with w/ smpatch. Two prod servers have lost the ability to run smc and updatemanager. I get the follwing error:
# smc

I assume java is broken. Not being a java programmer I am at a loss. After countless searches on the web I decided to post the issue here in hops of a resolution.
I am currently installing another test server and trying to patch it up using smpatch update. I have read about other tools to patch Solaris 10 but was hoping to stay with Sun's tools.
Ironically, I moved numerous servers from FreeBSD to Solaris because I wanted binary updates and was getting tired of "make world".....
Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
