Robert, Do you have access to pca version 20110329-01 or older? The change log (http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/changes.html) shows 144500 was added to whitelist following that release.
With all the alerts on 144500 (this week added - Solaris 10 Kernel Patches 144500-19 and 144501-19 may Cause a Panic in Systems Using Storage Multi-Pathing [ID 1359919.1] - I would think we should recommend against installing 144500-19. I see MOS Patches & Updates does not have any older versions of 144500-19 but from the README there were many. Is it normal for a kernel patch to NOT be recommended?

Installing this patch puts many of our systems into endless reboots. I have used the following command line to try and exclude this patch (and some others), but it still shows up in the lists. I found a white list in the program which seems to override my commands. Is this correct? How can I get around this? I cannot allow this to be installed until this is fixed and can't get pca to not install it. To get a listing, this is what I use: /usr/tools/adm/SunOS/bin/pca -y -X/usr/tools/adm/SunOS/pca \ --pattern="!VRTS|VERITAS|NetBackup|VxVM|SYMC" \ --ignore=144500-19 --ignore=121430-66 --ignore=127655-07 -l (/usr/tools is a commen NFS mounted tools area we use). ----- L Robert B.
