Once the latest patch is applies, then either halted or running will work. One other thing, make sure to run patchadd -a <patchid-revision> first, -a basically does a dryrun, boots any halted zones etc and does dependency checks. if there are any issues with a zone not being bootable the output should clearly indicate this ( examine the output carefully! ), and must be remedied prior to running the actual patchadd. Might also catch issues where a patch will not apply to one zone out of a list of zones, which might also need to be examined depending on the patch etc. Enda > ron > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > zones-discuss mailing list > zones-discuss@opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
