Hi Martin,

Thanks for your feedback. All it's done. I already use pca -d all command. 

Thanks for your help, have a nice day.

Hi Olvier,

Ok, that sounds fine.

All of the 64 failed patches are marked with "NOT FOUND IN CROSS REFERENCE FILE!" in PCA's output. Usually, if a patch is not in patchdiag.xref, you can't download it from Oracle.

Did you by chance try to download patches with "pca -d all"? Most probably you want "missing" instead of "all", because "all" also includes already installed patches. There are pre-installed patches in Solaris 10 update releases which are never published by Oracle, so you can't (and don't need to) download them.

hth,
Martin.
