I believe the original concern about making system/filesystem/local part of single-user was that it changes the definition of single-user. The zones team was involved in that discussion, and I've just tried to re-involve them in the resolution discussions. (And have cc'ed them here.

So you want to be able to interrupt any boot to any milestone, and instead do the patch processing if a patch is pending. You basically want to interrupt the current milestone, and instead just boot to filesystem-local and do the patching. The question is, can the smf milestone be changed

2. Create patch-install-milestone, which depends on patch-install-service below. The patch-install-milestone could also depend on single-user and filesystem-local so that it is generally useful for admins manually installing patches as well, even if they don't have

[zones-discuss] how to configure port listening in a zone?

I have a glassfish webserver running in my Solaris 10 zone. It will not respond to remote jmxrmi requests on port 8686. If I connect locally with (for instance) jconsole it works fine. I believe it is somehow related to being in a zone. Because snoop -p 8686 from my zone... tells me, no

The only way that you can get *that* guarantee is by using the milestone mechanism to limit the system to a particular milestone, as you suggest. In fact, argh. This problem affects even your proposed scheme. By the time that your patch-test-service is running, there could (in
