Re: [zones-discuss] patching a full non-global zone solaris 10 1/06

Hi Peter
I know that there are problems with the patch clusters at present
see bug-id

6407693 06.04.01 S10 Recommended Cluster has an incorrect patch install order

basically 119254-19 is being installed before it's required patches, 
which leads to it not installing.

Possibly this might have caused some problems for you

Do you have a log of the recommended cluster installation?

I have installed this patch to whole-root zones and not seen any issues, 
I suspect that somehow the patch utiltis patch dod not install before 
118712?

Enda
