Hello
I have been experimenting a few ways to speed up patching a bunch of
machines running whole zones (parallel patching, zoneadm attach -u).
I have encountered one issue with the attach -u way... Before initiating a
case with sun, I was wondering if it was a well known issue...
The GZ is initially running Solaris 10 U6 with kernel patch 138888-08 (and
other patches from the same period).
I start by applying 119254-70, 119313-28 and 125555-05 while the machine is
in multiuser mode, then I shutdown and detach the zones.
I bring back the machine in single user mode and apply a collection of about
190 patches (smpatch analyze output from a few days ago) which brings the
machine at the kernel version 141414-10.
The patching appears to go fine for the GZ
apss8003:/var/sadm/patch #pkginfo -p
apss8003:/var/sadm/patch #
But when zoneadm attaching -u the zones, pkginfo reports multiple partially
failing packages adds ...
apss8003:/var/sadm/patch #zlogin test pkginfo -p

If creating a new zone after the patching, there is no partial packages in
that newly build zone.
The patch list being a little bit lengthy, I can send it privately when
asked...
