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

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

Thanks!

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.

We will be improving some of the error messages for
update on attach so that you get better info on this
sort of thing.  However, this might not be a
bad patch problem.  What were the patches for this pkg
on the original system?  I think if you get the data
Enda requested then we can tell if there is another
troublesome 'special' patch or just a missing patch.

Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Christophe
In the zone being attached: zonepath/root/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWgtar/pkginfo 
file there should be an entry for PATCHLIST=
could I see this, and also the one from the target system's global zones 
pkginfo.

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!
