My customer is having problems installing patches to zones in Solaris 10 11/06
on T2000.
He is not booting the zones prior which I have heard in the past eliminates
issues b/c the wrapper does not have to do it. I understand that and I told
him that but it is not clear if the non-global zones need to be in single user
mode when patched or just booted. Please clarify and if possible review what I
put together and make comments. I could use this to create a doc and eliminate
these questions from being asked. Thanks in advance!!!
I emailed my customer this as this seems to help some of my customers but I
need confirmation and docs need to be written since all tech urls and info docs
miss answering this question directly.
Best way to apply the cluster for a system with patches is as follows:
Please note: As always we recommend init 0 and boot -s to apply patches if the
README requests single user appllication
1) downloaded recommended to /var/tmp chmod 777 on it then unzip
2) init 0
3) Ok> boot -s
4) make sure the that all entries in the /etc/mntab pertaining to local zones
are available
# mountall
5) Boot the non-global zones
# zoneadm -z zone boot
Boot all zones manually
so global accessible prior to patch application
6) install the patch cluster to the global zone
# cd /var/tmp
# ./install_cluster
If there are any failure, please forward Sun the /var/sadm/install_data/logs
"recommend_log"
Also, forward each log that pertains to the particular patch that failed under
the download directory then patch number to figure
I also recommend with Solaris 10 to apply zone patches prior to an
install_cluster
These zone patches to install first are:
120900-04, 121133-02, 121428-03, 120235-01, then the cluster, then 122660-07 .
To eliminate potential issues with zones and patchadd
Review it and let me know you have further questions and or concerns.
