Hi Dennis,

I've taken a quick look at patch 120744-02.

It's an interesting case.

It's currently not classified as a Solaris patch, but rather as a
JavaES patch. JavaES patches require SW/Software patch entitlement,
which is obtained via a Premier Support for Software support contract.
(https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=showtype=NOTid=1269292.1
explains how patch entitlement works).
This probably explains why you cannot download this patch.

So, onto the more interesting question - should you be able to
download this patch.
The answer here is yes.

Patch 120744-02 patches a set of pkgs that were delivered in Solaris
10 up to and including Solaris 10 Update 3.
Thereafter the pkgs that 120744-02 delivers got updated in the
Solaris image.

eg.:
SUNWcmcon:
SUNWcmcon in 120744-02:   VERSION=2.2,REV=2004.09.23.12.44.08
SUNWcmcon in Solaris:

Bottom line is that patch 120744-02 should have OS/Operating System
patch entitlement.

I'll follow up internally to make this happen, but it will take at
least 48 hours to sort out.

Sorry for the inconvenience (I know these things take time to debug)
and thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Best,

Today ain't your day :)

  
  
  yeah man ... you can say that, however things are looking up.


  

You mean you can't install it or download it ?

  
  
Exactly. Yes. Both of those.

However only minutes ago I logged into MOS and can see everything
again. For weeks I saw some stuff about support ids and such and
was able to download only basic patches however now I am back to
full software, OS and firmware as I should be.

Looks like the new MOS has a few kinks yet.

I just did a quick search for 120744-02 and ( see pic attached ) lo
and behold, no problem, there it is.

However PCA still says "no way, you can't have it" :

Don, you are the best !   I love the fact that this mail list is more
effective for working out these little issues than nearly any other
interface. Gotta love pca.

So when is Oracle simple going to toss out a billion to buy the pca
tool and pay off everyone on this mail list ?  :-)

 Jonathan was certainly better than Larry, but I really miss Scott.

Scott and the original first 100 employees built a company from the
ground up. We must keep in mind however that money was flowing like
water and the tech world was booming. Regardless, most ideas never
get off the ground and Sun was an amazing success because of the
brilliant products, people and management.

[pca] Heads up on another patch

2012-02-16 Thread Drew Skinner
Hi;

Been lurking here for a while, but have been having great success with pca
(thanks Martin). Have handled 1000+ systems in under 2 months w/ lots of
different pca configs (based on security requirements).

After everything we saw with 144500 / 501-19, I thought I'd share another
heads up for everyone.

First off, my problems with the above were solved with another patch from
Oracle.

The next patch only impacts about a dozen machines in this environment, but
if you're running iSCSI with CHAP, take note.

Bug to the above was introduced in 143645-03 (CHAP stops working).
Bug is perpetuated by 146232-13 which obsoleted 143645-16

Bugs on file at Oracle:  7031995 and 7127565

Official fix ftrom Sun / Oracle is due in 7 - 10 days (approx end of
February) in the form of  146232-14

Workaround is to turn off CHAP for the time being.

Just a heads up for everyone.


Drew.
