That's new to me, but as Richard says - the current revisions of the Sun Ray Server Software patches are not listed in patchdiag.xref. This is valid for both SPARC and x86 (and Linux, so this is not an x86-only issue). The patchdiag.xref has revision 05 of 140993/140994/140995, while the latest revision for all these patches is 07, as listed on:   http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/Latest_News The current patches for the Sun Ray Data Store (145212-02/145213-02/145214-02) are completely absent from patchdiag.xref. I have seen no notification of any change in the Sun Ray patch policy, and I see no technical reason why the patches shouldn't be available like all other patches, so I hope it's just an accident. Maybe Don can find out? I don't know anything about patches 145212-02/145213-02/145214-02 or 140993-07/140994-07/140995-07. These patches have not been released through my team (or the standard Oracle release process for 6-2 format patches). This is the reason they are not in patchdiag.xref. In addition, any download from MOS for which the patch number is not given as a standard Sun 6-2 patchid does not go through my team and so does not end up in the patchdiag.xref file. It looks like patches 140993-07/140994-07/140995-07 were freshbitted into the latest release image and were never released as standalone patches through our process...
