Re: [pca] Unable to download patches anymore in sparc Solaris 10 platform

[Dave Simonson]

A year ago Solaris 10 went on Extended Support (1/31/18). If you had an active support contract, you could still get patches available prior to 2018 (Sustaining Support), but nothing later unless you had the extra Extended uplift added to your support contract. 10% last year, 20% next two years, then essentially no more patches. PCA pretty much stopped working then. https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris/oracle-solaris-10-support-explained On 1/6/2019 7:14 PM, leahciM noskcaJ wrote: On Sun, 6 Jan 2019 22:32:05 +0100, Dr Tom Bleek wrote:- Am 06.01.2019 um 22:08 schrieb leahciM noskcaJ <leahcim.nosk...@tel.co.uk>: On Sun, 6 Jan 2019 19:05:04 +0100, Dr Tom Bleek wrote:- You need additional support for sol10 now, tb Am 06.01.2019 um 18:28 schrieb leahciM noskcaJ <leahcim.nosk...@tel.co.uk>: Happy new year all. # pca -V --wget=/usr/sfw/bin/wget --wgetopt=--no-check-certificate -si missingrs ...

TIA.. Thanks I found the blog https://url.emailprotection.link/?aYmBZB8QfgHNf5nRk8JdSbN21BmcbqFH7rz3Gjqk7JO1RPhMfVoQRRqNqW0P3xa1JEF29TMi32sd4IoUUIEqV-0NkDUHs50K8GG26zJVvPvlpghmvGxfLOZgFtfpCsEm3 Obviously slow out of the blocks on this one (though reading the comments through September last year, I wasn't that far behind). So, destined for the miasma that is Oracle support sales & renewals... I'm sure there was a good reason why it wasn't a check-box option on the last Premier support renewal invitation -- it's just that I can't think what it is. Perhaps it is worth to ask the sales fuzzies. It was not so much for us. If you only need some patches for now i could put them on our ftp server by mistake:-) Dr. Tom, many thanks. Not paying attention, I hadn't noticed that a package stopped working on S10 following some update. Double-checking old emails, I saw refs to Doc ID 2187794.1 SunOS 4.x Binaries Fail to Run in Solaris 10 Branded Zones on Solaris 11.3.1.5.0 Through 11.3.12.4.0. The second of these dependencies had vanished from the Global Zone: * pkg:/compatibility/ucb * pkg://solaris/system/compatibility/sunos4 # pkg install pkg://solaris/system/compatibility/sunos4 No updates necessary for this image. Planning linked: 0/4 done; 1 working: zone:xxxxxx Linked progress: -pkg: install failed (linked image exception(s)): A 'sync-linked' operation failed for child 'zone:xxxxxx' with an unexpected return value of 1 and generated the following output: pkg: 2/3 catalogs successfully updated: https protocol error: code: 401 reason: Unauthorized URL: 'https://url.emailprotection.link/?aY-QDFbDfnOkTtIAlsrLkjtQ79L4-NVcxlnyFa0v-g5P4HRAonMOn6w4S8cSxHQl3vk17LsztYhJzRanCr5cSfw~~' Additional Details: This account is not entitled to access this repository. Ensure that the correct certificate is being used and that the support contract for the product being accessed is still valid. OT: 401 in the GZ on the Premier which is paid-up and for which the key and cert are OK. At least, a pkgrecv of the support repo down to the local depot server on a native S11 zone was in progress (now re-started). As that's using the same key, cert and contract, the 401 is puzzling.
