Re: [zones-discuss] Issue with zone upgrade on attach

[Christophe Dupre]

Just for the record, I installed the patch 139100-01 and was able to
attach and upgrade my zone on the new server.

Thanks!
Christophe

Re: [zones-discuss] Issue with zone upgrade on attach

[Christophe Dupre]

 From the global zone:
PATCHLIST=

 From zone being attached:
PATCHLIST=139100-01

So I guess I need to install 139100-01 in the new server's global zone ?
That makes sense - the original server was 05/08 but had received a 
recommended cluster in early october, so it is probable that it received 
some patches that were not rolled into 10/08.

Hopefully, the error messages will be improved to provide a hint of what 
the problem is.

Re: [zones-discuss] Issue with zone upgrade on attach

[Christophe Dupre]

Thanks Jerry for the quick reply. I am making progress, but no cigar (yet). Now 
I have:

zoneadm: zone 'X': ERROR: attempt to downgrade package SUNWgtar, the source had 
patches but this system does not

It does not give me a patch number, so I can't add it to the bad_patches file. 
Or maybe it does ? 
Is there a list of patches I should add to bad_patches for this to work ? The 
workaround mentions an attached file, but I don't see it. 

Thanks,
Christophe Dupre

This is bug:

6743776 zone update on attach should ignore all "special" patches

This is escalated and a patch is being developed.  The workaround
is in the bug report (the workaround is actually the fix).  It
updates the /usr/lib/brand/native/bad_patches file.  You can manually
do this as well.

[zones-discuss] Issue with zone upgrade on attach

[Christophe Dupre]

Hello,
we're having an issue migrating a zone from one server to another.

Server A has Solaris 10 x86 05/08 and hosts zone X (spare-root zone).

Server B has just been acquired and installed with Solaris 10 x86 10/08
and hosts a number of zones created locally.

We would like to move zone X from A to B. We have done a 'zoneadm -z X
detach' on A, then did a tar of the zonepath to send it to server B. On
server B, we created a zfs /zones/X where we untarred the zone. Then:
zonecfg -z X create -a /zones/X
zoneadm -z X attach -u

This gives:
zoneadm: zone 'X': ERROR: attempt to downgrade package SUNWcsr, the
source had patch 125098-14 which is not installed on this system

>From what I can tell, 125098-14 was part of 05/08, not a patch we added
to the system after initial setup, and not something we can download.

Does anyone have a solution for this ? How can I migrate my zone ?

Thanks!

Re: [zones-discuss] Re: Problem creating zones with latest recommended

[Christophe Dupre]

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong: I was installing the
recommended cluster with the -nosave option, but 118855-36 seems to have
an issue with that, if 'patchadd -d' is used that a directory needs to
be manually created first.

What I did was manually install the latest 119255 (patch utils) and
118855-36, rebooted then installed the recommended cluster, and all is
working now.

Thanks to all the private replies which pointed me in the right direction.
