<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF">I always patch my global zone first. Then I look on the non-global zones to see if any patches are still missing and usually they are not missing any. Occasionally
I need to install one patch in the non-global zone due to an application that exists there which is not in the global zone, but that is not very often. So, with this procedure I do not run into the errors that you are seeing below.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF">I’m confused by your list of patches below. Let me explain…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF">You state that the zone already has 148888-03 installed (This is seen on the line below that starts with “Host: …”)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF">According to the readme for 148888-03 it requires that you have 147147-26 already installed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF">Yet, you are trying to install 147147-26… That doesn’t make sense since that patch is already installed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF">This line below shows that its not installed. That’s impossible since 148888-03 is installed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">147147 -- < 26 RS- 131 SunOS 5.10: kernel patch</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF">Also, since 147147-26 is a kernel patch and the non-global zone shares the same kernel with the global zone, it makes sense that this install would fail in
a non-global zone.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF">In summary, only a subset of patches are possible to install in a non-global zone. And even then, this may depend on whether you are using whole root or sparse
root zones.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF">The former will give you more flexibility to patch non-global to a different patch level than the latter will. If you don’t want the non-global to be at a different
patch level than the global, then its best to just patch the global zone and get both at once.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#091FBF">Patching the non-global is only necessary if you want it to be different than the global.</span></p>
