Solaris 10 Patching issues

Any body have these problems.
System:
AMD Duron 1200MHZ
512Kb Ram
40gig IDE HD
Netgear FG511 NIC
I am a Noob with Solaris and Unix in general and dont have any experience with Linux but am open minded and enjoy getting my teeth into new stuff. I have found Solaris to be a great challenge and Unix seems to be a suitable replacement to Windows. The only issue I have is regarding patching of the OS. I recently downloaded the recommended x86 patches and ran the install_cluster...upon reboot solaris just kept rebooting...there was some kind of panic in the kernel. I had a look on the net and found the patch that was causing the issue. I then rebuilt(I could have removed the patch but decided to do a rebuild anyway) I then edited the Patch_order file and removed the reference to the 118844-20 patch which caused the kernel panic.
I then installed the cluster again and rebooted and it seemed that solaris came up fine. but when I logged in a couple of applications for GNOME did not start(window list,workspace switcher,show desktop etc) it gave an error and asked if I wanted to restart these apps.
Next I tried to open a .gz archive and the file roller app died.
I then went to a terminal window and gunzipped the archive and then tried to tar -x the resulting file from the gunzip about half way through the untar Solaris rebooted. I have had no issues with archive files prior to patching so can only assume that it is one of the patches that is causing the issue?????
has anyone had similer issues.
I must admit, its a bit unnerveing when you install recommended patches that your system becomes very unstable.

Hi,
I have the same problem and unfortunately no answers. Same story - build Solaris on machine, runs fine. Run update connection, load security and recommended patches and boom - Solaris is now broken. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to recover so my only course of action is to reinstall Solaris.
I traced it to a similar patch - 118844-30. I've since rebuilt the box using S10 Update 1 which includes Grub etc, but same problem if I run update connection and download the recommended patches which inlcudes 118844-30 => reinstall Solaris.
Any ideas?

How do I find the latest Critical Sun Solaris Patches on Oracle site

Hello
How do I find the latest critical Solaris Patches available to the users. I was searching the list on Oracle's site it's hard to determine which patch is critcal or not. When I type uname -a this is what returns Generic_142909-17.
Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

Sorry, I wrote "Monthly" when I meant to write "Quarterly". Apologies for the confusion. My bad.
From - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alerts-086861.html
They are released on the Tuesday closest to the 15th day of January, April, July and October. Starting 2011, the scheduled dates for the release of Critical Patch Updates will be on the Tuesday closest to the 17th day of January, April, July and October. The next four dates are:
* 19 April 2011
* 19 July 2011
* 18 October 2011
* 17 January 2012
The CPU for the Solaris Operating System is a rebranded snapshot of the Recommended OS Cluster. The rebranding involves only superficial changes to the patch cluster, with the actual patch content remaining unchanged. The patches contained in this patch cluster are considered the most important and highly recommended patches for Solaris 10. They provide the least amount of change required to address known security, data corruption and availability issues.
If there's a particular CVE Alert which you're vulnerable to or interested in, then the fix will be released within the patch that corresponds to the area of code the vulnerability affects. You can then apply that patch and it's requirements separate to the clusters. Next time you apply the cluster it will either install the latest rev of the patch or skip it if you have the latest installed already.
The Recommended Patch Cluster bundle is a much larger collection of patches and contains all the latest patches (at the time of release) which include Solaris updates, Security, and Sun Alert fixes. Note that we merged "Recommended Patch Cluster/Kernel Jumbo Patchset" and the "Sun Alert Patch Clusters" back in June 2010. See http://blogs.sun.com/patch/entry/merging_the_solaris_recommended_and for more information regarding what happened and why.
Of course there will be a large overlap between the "Recommended OS Cluster" and the "Critical Patch Updates" patchsets will be rolled in to the "Recommended OS Cluster" whenever it's cut and released.
There's a lot of information in the README files for each cluster so you may want to read those to understand the subtle differences.

Steve

Solaris Patch Manager gets status:302 behind Proxy

Hi Colleagues,
I am trying to get Solaris Patch Manager on my Solaris 8 up and running.
But if I say "smpatch analyze", the smpatch just reports a "Response code was 302" I think this means something like: "temporary moved".
I think my problem is, that the proxy doesn't follow the moved object.
Can anybody tell me where I can manualy download the detectors.jar and patchdb.zip?

Any news on this posting? I'm trying to do the same thing, as I dont want to use a caching proxy to download patches, I just want to use
a local source to perform analysis, downloads, and updates.
Cheers.

non-applicable machines that already have the new patch applied.Any
application that has an ActiveX control loaded using an

BASH patch issue

Hello,
I'm having an issue where my CPU patch sets is failing on my Solaris 10 servers. The patch 126546-07 fails, this patch is for the BASH shell. I used a patch from Oracle to patch the shell shock security vulnerability. I think the patch was not compatible with the main system patches. I would like to remove the patch and install the most current one. I think the patches were IDR patches. I don't know how to remove or find these IDR patches. Can someone give me a hand.

For SPARC: patchrm IDR151577-01 or patchrm IDR151577-02
For AMD: patchrm IDR151578-01 or patchrm IDR151578-02
The -01 or -02 depends on which version of the IDR you installed, I believe there were two revisions. You can check which one you have installed by doing ls -d /var/sadm/patch/IDR*

Solaris patching on solaris 10 x86

just wondering if anyone can assist. i have just installed solaris 10 x86 recommended patches on a 16 disks server. where first 2 disks are mirrored called rpool, and remaining 14 disks are raid z called spool. upon installing the patches successfully and rebooting server, i am coming up with the following error:
NOTICE: Can not read the pool label from '/pci@0,0/pci8086,25f8@4/pci111d,801c@0/pci111d,801c@4/pci108e,286@0/disk@0,0:a /pci@0,0/pci8086,25f8@4/pci111d,801c@0/pci111d,801c@4/pci108e,286@0/disk@1,0:a'

rebooting...
It looks like the solaris 10 os cannot find zfs filesystem and keeps on rebooting in normal solaris os mode, but when I go to safe mode and type: zfs list, I can see zfs rpool (mirrored) file system and cannot see the zfs spool (raid z) file system, any ideas on how i can fix the boot problem and get zfs spool back in the safest way possible?...

I finally figured it out. It seems that kernel patch 137138-09 was the culprit. It took me a while to test each kernel patch but I found out that if you have a mirrored volume or a virtual logical volume this will affect you. Also, after I did all this testing I finally found the sunsolve article referencing this patch. Seems you can install the patch, but you have to install 125556-01 first. Here's the article: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-66-246206-1

Windows 2000 connector Patch issue (Patch ID: 8318738)

Hi,
We have applied the latest Windows 2000 connector Patch on our DEV environment.
While trying to provision the Windows resource (the user’s home network shared folder), effectively there is some permissions issue that is encountered while executing in the DLL and it effectively causes some page fault that prompts the OS to kill the process and the OC4J instance is restarted.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 Patch Issue

Hi folks,
I applied the latest OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 patch earlier today. This was for a standalone instance and I didn't encounter any issues with the patching process itself. However, afterwards when I logged into Answers/Dashboard, the homepage looked very strange. The entire header component is missing, including the Oracle logo, the dropdown menus for dashboards, favorites, search text field, signout link etc. The Create section in the left pane is also empty. Everything else on this homepage looks fine. When I navigate to the catalog via the Browse/Manager section, the catalog comes up fine along with the previously missing header! So the header is only missing on the homepage.. Very wierd.
Would appreciate any hints on how to troubleshoot this.. Can I manually fix this is in one of the xml files? I'm hoping not to have to go back and re-do the patching!
thanks,
Axe

I think dhar is referring to the cleancat script to clean up the catalog binary cache. Here is the notes from the BP1 installation:
Clarification on the cleancat script: You may want to first navigate to the locations listed in the script to see if the files exist in your environment (they may not). If they do not exist, then you may scip running the patch. Additionally, the script may fail with an error. If that happens, go to the directories the script is trying to delete and delete them manually (if they exist).
P.S: I have manually deleted these files by navigating to the directories after installing the patches.
For Linux: cleancat.sh
================================
#!/bin/sh
# Cleanup catman binary cache
echo "Cleaning up Catalog Manager binary cache"
rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/bifoundation/web/catalogmanager/configuration/org*
echo "Done"
For Windows: cleancat.cmd
================================
echo off
echo Cleaning up Catalog Manager binary cache
IF EXIST
%ORACLE_HOME%\bifoundation\web\catalogmanager\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi

SCCM/WSUS 2007 01-2015 Bulletin Patching issue. Some clients patch just fine, some will not download the content.

Bit new to the admin side, so please excuse some ignorance.
We have approx 6000 end points. We setup this months patches and a couple out of cycle ones we noticed. We are getting a TON of clients that will not patch. They are getting the defintions but when we attempt to run the advertised
patches they fail approx 10 seconds later. However, some servers on the same boundry will patch just fine. We get the error message in the logs that when the client was told to download the content from the DP, it spits out error that content does
not exist. The DPs we believe are having the issues are MPs as well sitting in DMZ. We have 2 sites configured basically the same, both DP/MPs in DMZ are the ones having the issues. We have confirmed clients are able to connect anon to the
DP/MP. But again, some clients are patching just fine.
UpdatesDeployment.log has the following warning listed 7 times.
Not refreshing update presence state as error CI Info status received
But yet does see that it needs 7 patches.
EnumerateUpdates for action (UpdateActionInstall) - Total visible updates = 7
No other logs show any errors on the clients. I have confirmed the content is avalible on the DP/MP it is reporting too. Obviously though since other clients sitting right next to them work still.
Any ideas? Trying to avoid working all weekend. Thank you!

We checked every single log on every MP, DP, SS and many clients. For unknown reasons, deleteing and rebuilding the Jan update list did the trick.

Solaris 10 issue with CD 2

I am installing solaris 10 on some old SunBlade 100
All is working fine with the first CD then I reach a point where I am asked to insert a the second CD. I put it in and is not recognized but I can mount it in my linux box.
Same for all the other CD.
The only way I can proceed with the installation is.
reboot with the next cd inserted than it works...
I am not to expert with solaris maybe I am missing something stupid...
Thank you!

Here is updated information on this 2GB/855GME issue. Any assistance, solution, or insight is very much appreciated.
We are seeing orders of magnitude (30x) increase in access time in a segment at the top of memory when the memory installed is 2 Gigabytes and booting the Solaris operating system. This segment starts at 0x3E000000 (physical - 32 megabytes from the top) up to the 8 Megabytes 'stolen' by the video (or 24 megabytes). The huge increase in Solaris boot time is because (according to our Sun technical contact) Solaris allocates memory from the top down which means its using the slow memory to boot. The symptoms change if the Internal Graphics Device (IGD) is disabled and a PCI video card is used, OR, if the IGD is set to 'steal' all 32 Megabytes available thus consuming the 'slow memory' area.
We have opened an Intel Quad issue outlining the symptoms above (see Quad text below). They suspect MTRR setup in 'anticipation' of IGD use of the memory. However, dumps of the MTRR's via emulator both with and without the IGD are the same.
Note: other model specific registers, such as the BBL_CR_Dx registers are different with/without IGD, but as they are for accessing L2 cache, don't appear to be pertinent to this problem. This opinion could change with more study.

Dns server in solaris 10 issues

Hello,
I have configured /etc/resolv.conf with the following:
nameserver 8.8.8.8
"nslookup www.yahoo.com" works fine to get the IP, but "ping www.yahoo.com" failed with with unknown host.
Did I miss something to configure my dns server?
Thanks for the help in advance.
Tom

You haven't configured a DNS server. You've told nslookup which DNS server to use to resolve a name to an address.
Try:
http://www.convery.me.uk/blog/?p=16
for assistance with your issue.
Don't forget that Solaris 10 uses both hosts and ipndoes. Later versions have these files linked together.
