Re: [zones-discuss] Solaris u5 and cpu hard capping... A patch for u3 and u4 ?

Regards the patch would be 127127-11/127128-11 (SPARC/x86 ) Kernel Update patches. These require other patches BTW. Also remember to install latest rev of patch utilites first ( 119254/119255 : SPARC/x86 ) Actually if you have diskspace, then I recommend using LiveUpgrade to apply these patches, as it has the following benefits 1 only downtime is reboot 2 gives user the ability to rollback the changes.

hello Enda, we do use liveupgrade but as we are using whole zones on dedicated individual veritas vxvm ufs filesystems ( to allow mobility) it is currently still a very painful approach.

In that case. please make sure to first apply the highest rev of 119254/119255 that is available. then any required patches for 127127-11 then prior to installing 127127-11 run patchadd -a 127127-11 this does a dryrun ( modifies no files on system ) and might catch issues with unpatchable zones etc, before any damage is permanent. The output from -a will be verbose ( well same as normal patchadd ), but make sure to parse it and examine any errors that it might uncover. Only then proceed to installing 127127-11 ( please make sure that there is sufficient space in / and /var/ and /var/run, in the latter case, best to have 150M available. the other file systems should have at least 350M free.
