No, PCA can only download the patches, but these cannot be installed 
with PCA/patchadd. Usually an install script is contained in the 
ZIP-File, and you should always read the included README.

That's unusual - I haven't heard about such an issue in the past. No 
idea why the host OS (and changes to it) would affect [A-Z]LOM. Anybody 
else seen any such weirdness?

I'm not using zones on my systems, so I have zero to none experience in 
patching systems with zones. Maybe if you describe your problems in more 
detail, somebody else can share his thoughts.
