PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services Configuration and Administration Guide: Redundant Line Control Function 4.1 (for Solaris(TM) Operating System)

D.2.10.1 Patch application fails

Symptom:

When a patch is applied with the "patchadd" command after the system is rebooted in single user mode, the following error message is output then patch application fails.

Preparing checklist for local zone check...

Checking local zones...

Booting local zone zone0 for patch check...
ERROR: unable to boot zone: problem running </usr/sbin/zoneadm> on zone <zone0>: Error 0
could not verify net address=192.168.80.10 physical=sha0: No such device or address
zoneadm: zone zone0 failed to verify

Can not boot local zone zone0

Corrective action:

If a Solaris zone exists on the system, consistency with a non-global zone will be checked at the time of patch application. If the non-global zone is used in the high-reliability network through redundant line control, a consistency error will occur then patch application will fail. It is necessary to apply the patch using the following steps:

[Procedure]

1) Start the system in multi-user mode.

2) Check that the redundant line control function is activated.

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/dsphanet

3) Change the mode from multi-user to single user mode using the "init" command.

# init s

4) Apply the patch.
