[pca] Accidental Netbackup upgrade

[Jonathan Imber]

Having used pca to patch both a Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 Netbackup master and media servers the application refused to work.

Considerable time was spent looking at Kernel, mpt patches etc. before the problem was diagnosed as a Netbackup version mismatch i.e. the media server being newer than the master server as a result of pca applying a Netbackup upgrade patch.

Not being an experienced user of pca it did not immediately occur to me that pca would also patch Netbackup, can anyone suggest the best method of excluding patches for a particular application?

Is it possible to remove any reference to Netbackup from the patchdiag.xref file?

I know its possible to use the --ignore switch, but this will involve identifying the patches and increasing the complexity of the command line.

Thanks,
Jonathan
