Lisa, What if you don't use "lumount" to mount the inactive BE but instead just use the regular mnt command? This is what I do and it has worked fine for me.

Whenever I try to us pca.perl to apply patches to an inactive boot environment, I see pkgadd and patchadd and "exit code 5" error messages for each patch: Patch 119254-81 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd. See /.alt.Sol10_u6/var/sadm/patch/119254-81/log for details Patchadd is terminating. Failed (exit code 5) I use "lumount inactive_BE" to mount the inactive boot environment before attempting to patch: # lumount Sol10_u6 I've tried two different versions of the pca.perl command, with different options. However, the result is the same - the pkgadd error appears. # ./pca.perl --root=/.alt.Sol10_u6 -y -i -P /usr/local/patches missingrs # ./pca.perl --root=/.alt.Sol10_u6 -install How do I use pca to patch inactive boot environment? Note: The two pca.perl commands shown above work fine when I patch the active boot environment. In other words, I leave out the "-root=/.alt.Sol10_u6" option.
