We reverted the server to an unpatched 10u8 via Live Upgrade, and it's stable for now. However, there's a few patches we really need in place...
Fortunately, we have a Sun/Oracle Managed Services contract, which includes installing patches at our request. We just sent them the list of 104 patches we'd like installed, by hand :) Wonder if we'll end up with the same errors? Thanks for all the help/encouragement. --Scott On 03/09/2010 07:07 PM, Paul B.
