Hi Robert,<br>
<br>
I'll leave the whitelist/blacklist stuff to Martin.<br>
<br>
I'm more interested in why you're ending up in the panic loop!<br>
<br>
Are you running EMC PowerPath?<br>
If so - check out
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=1358671.1">https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=1358671.1</a><br>
We have also seen similar nasty reactions to 144500-19 with the
following multipathing products:<br>
<ul>
<li>Hitachi HDS</li>
<li>Falconstor</li>
<li>Dynapath</li>
<li>CA Access Control SeOS</li>
</ul>
It seems like in all cases the problem occurs when the multipathing
product uses a private Solaris interface, which patch 144500-19 changes.<br>
<br>
Bottom line is that patch 144500-19 is not compatible with the effected
products.<br>
To try prevent customers hitting the most prevalent of these issues,
which is EMC PowerPath, we have worked with EMC to construct logic
which will prevent patch 144500-19 from applying to susceptible systems.<br>
<br>
This logic is delivered in patch 125555-11 (released Monday 19th
September). This patch is now in the Recommended Patchset.<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Installing this patch puts many of our systems
into endless reboots. I have used the following command line to try and
exclude this patch (and some others), but it still shows up in the
lists. I found a white list in the program which seems to override my
commands. Is this correct? How can I get around this? I cannot allow
this to be installed until this is fixed and can’t get pca to not
install it. <o:p></o:p></p>
