Hi Vineeth and Enda, Thank you very much for your kind reply.
Patches with SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES=true means it applies on both global zone and non global zone regardless inherited directory, These patches include kernel patches, right ? if non global zone is not inherited from global zone, and when the parameter SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES=false, does it mean the patch with SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES=false will not applied on both global zone and non global zone. Or SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES=false works together with other parameters (such as SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES or SUNW_PKG_THISZONE) as the following description ? http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1592/gcbox?l=en&q=SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW&a=view In fact, I was confused by the description above. I am not sure link above is available for the whole zone as Enda described below. ===snip from Enda description=== No, SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES means that the patch can only be applied from the global zone, and will apply to all non global zones, regardless. So it doesn't matter whether the zone is sparse or whole ( whole is where there are no inherited dirs, as in your case ). ===snip from Enda description=== Thank you very much.
