[pca] pca returns patchadd error - inactive BE

[Nishimura, Scott L (ESS)]

Lisa,

   What if you don't use "lumount" to mount the inactive BE but instead just use the regular mnt command?  This is what I do and it has worked fine for me.

Hi,

How do I use pca to patch inactive boot environment?

Whenever I try to us pca.perl to apply patches to an inactive boot environment, I see pkgadd and patchadd and "exit code 5" error messages for each patch:

Patch 119254-81 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.

See /.alt.Sol10_u6/var/sadm/patch/119254-81/log for details

Patchadd is terminating.

Failed (exit code 5)

I use "lumount inactive_BE" to mount the inactive boot environment before attempting to patch:

# lumount Sol10_u6

I've tried two different versions of the pca.perl command, with different options.  However, the result is the same - the pkgadd error appears.

# ./pca.perl --root=/.alt.Sol10_u6 -y -i -P /usr/local/patches missingrs

# ./pca.perl --root=/.alt.Sol10_u6 -install

How do I use pca to patch inactive boot environment?

Note:  The two pca.perl commands shown above work fine when I patch the active boot environment.  In other words, I leave out the "-root=/.alt.Sol10_u6"  option.
