Re: [pca] Three patches Using /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref from Nov/10/13 fail to install on a T2000
Strange - this patches are explicitely for the sun4v architecture (which the T2000 has), and they installed fine on my test T3 (which is sun4v as well). Can you run these commands and send me the 3 output files: uname -a uname.out showrev -p showrev.out pkginfo -x pkginfo.out Martin.

This is a perfectly valid bug report and service request to file via MOS to Oracle. They will initially deny the problem but if you press a little then the thing gets reported to Solaris guys in there and they will look at it. I had to go through the same silly dance on a bug with zoneadm move which fails when a zone has to go from one ZFS filesystem to another on separate ZPools and there is a file or directory entry with oddball characters in it. Turns out that zoneadm has to call cpio to do the copy and then cpio fails when it hits a special character anywhere in the file pathnames. So, push the problem over onto the MOS folks because this looks like a valid bug in patchadd.

After looking at the provided files, I found out that the affected system has multiple versions for different architectures installed for some of the packages. E.g. patch 150109 patches SUNWcakr.v (which means it will only apply to sun4v systems). In your pkginfo output I see: SUNWcakrCore Solaris Kernel Architecture (Root) (sparc.sun4u) 11.10.0,REV=2005.01.21.15.53 SUNWcakr.2 Core Solaris Kernel Architecture (Root) (sparc.sun4us) 11.10.0,REV=2005.01.20.17.25 SUNWcakr.3 Core Solaris Kernel Architecture (Root) (sparc.sun4v) 11.10.0,REV=2005.08.25.02.12 So three instances of SUNWcakr are installed, for sun4u, sun4us and sun4v. That's no problem for PCA, it correctly identifies 150109 to apply to your system. It seems as if patchadd has a problem with that situation, though. Even though the VERSION in 150109-01/SUNWcakr.v/pkginfo perfectly matches tht installed package (SUNWcakr.3, sparc.sun4v, 11.10.0,REV=2005.08.25.02.12), it refuses to install the patch. Try to remove SUNWcakr and SUNWcakr.2 and check whether PCA still shows the patch as missing and patchadd installs it. If so, you should probably adapt your installation procedure. hth, Martin.
