Re: [zones-discuss] patching system with zones (single user)

2006-12-19 Thread Enda O'Connor

Hi
Due to issue with patch tools, you must be already running 
119254/119255-31  or above.

So in your case the zones need to be booted.
Although the error below is not something I have seen before

What was the exact out put ( if still available ) of the failing patchadd
What reupdate lease is this and what rev of 119254 is currently 
installed ( before adding rev 32 )

what is the zonepath and is it available at single user mode etc
could I see zonecfg -z syswithz0 info

Was the zone already booted and can one log into it etc when the zone is 
booted.


As for a procedure to follow, we recommend that if the patch is a single 
user mode patch then the system should be in single user mode, zones or 
no zones, but you will need to have 119254-31 installed prior to 
installing further patches in single user mode.

So 119254-31 or greater must be installed with the zones booted basically.

Verifying that patch 119254-32 is installed.

It seems the patching script was trying to access the local zone
filesystems or zoneadm utility but could not.

There is a procedure to add and remove patches from a system with 
zones at:


http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1592/6mhahuorv?q=patching+zonesa=view 



But it does not appear to specify if adminstrator needs to be in single
user or multi-user mode.

Is there a recommended user mode or procedure on how to add a patch to a
system running zones ?
