Using the following pca options, I ran my pca wrapper script on a
Solaris 8 machine.
The following patches were downloaded from my patch proxy server.
pca --nocheckxref \
--patchdir=${TMPDIR} \
--xrefdir=/patches/pca/htdocs/${ROLE} \
--patchurl=http://${SERVER}/dev/pca-proxy.cgi \
--xrefurl=http://${SERVER}/dev/pca-proxy.cgi \
--fromfiles=/tmp/${HOSTNAME}_ \
--install $PATCHGRP | tee
/patches/pca/logs/${HOSTNAME}.patchlog.`date +%y%m%d` 2>&1
110936 -- < 22 -S- 999 Sun Management Center 3.0: (GA) Patch for Solaris 2.6
110937 -- < 22 -S- 999 Sun Management Center 3.0: (GA) Patch for Solaris 7
110971 -- < 22 -S- 999 Sun Management Center 3.0: (RR) Patch for Solaris 2.6
110972 -- < 22 -S- 999 Sun Management Center 3.0: (RR) Patch for Solaris 7
As you can see, they are for Solaris 2.6 and 7. not Solaris 8. How did
this happen? In order to use my
pca wrapper scripts in production, I must prove to management that pca
is "perfect". I believe I can
convince my boss that this is so, but I would like to know the cause.
By the way, the rest of the patches were correctly installed and I did
not have this problem on a
Solaris 10 machine.
