I am having problem in installing patch 112438-03 in 3 sunfire v240s running Solaris 8.
On one server the patch installed with no problem but on the other twos I am getting the following error # patchadd /var/spool/patch/112438-03 Checking installed patches... Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)... Patch 112438-03 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd. See /var/sadm/patch/112438-03/log for details Patchadd is terminating. # more /var/sadm/patch/112438-03/log Package not patched: PKG=SUNWcarx.us Original package not installed. This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and version of a package which is already installed. This installation will attempt to overwrite this package. /var/spool/patch/112438-03/SUNWcarx.u/install/checkinstall: /var/spool/patch/112438-03/SUNWcarx.u/install/checkinstall: cannot open pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully Dryrun complete. No changes were made to the system. # I was puzzled because all 3 servers had Solaris 8 installed from the same jumpstart server. Didn't understand why the patch installed flawless in one server but not in order two. A investigation revealed that on the server were the patch was installed the kernelID is Generic_117350-27 whereas the other two servers where the patch didn't installed the kernelID is Generic_117350-26 (???!) Have no idea how the servers endup with different kernelIDs considering that they all have the same patch cluster installed and the hardware configuration is the same in all 3 servers. Question: how one update the kernelid? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any comments or statements made in this transmission reflect the views of the sender and are not necessarily the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
