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.

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.

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.
