What options do I have to patch the recommended patchset on Solaris 10 with a bunch of non-global zones?
With the standard patching process(installcluster), it takes a looong time since each zone needs veridated. Any option that I can apply the patchset to the global zone only, then later upgrade the non-global zones?
If possible, I'd like to use LU.
You can use LU but it will depend of your system config. There are instructions in the README of the patchset to install it on an alternate boot environment (previously created using lucreate).
If you plan to use LU, read the following docs first to avoid common issues:
Solaris Live Upgrade Software Patch Requirements(Doc ID 1004881.1)
List of currently unsupported Live Upgrade (LU) configurations (Doc ID 1396382.1)
You can also use Parallel Patching feature to improve performance :
https://blogs.oracle.com/patch/entry/zones_parallel_patching_feature_now
Solaris 10 10/09: Zones Parallel Patching to ReducePatching Time (System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers…
What you can't do is patch the global zone only and the non-global zones later (unless the zones are detached). It's a requirement that the global and non-global stay synchronize at all time (considering that they are sharing the same kernel).

After installing 137137-09 patch OK in global zone, bad in non global zone
Hi all,
scratching my head with this one.
Installed 137137-09 fine on Sun Fire V210. Machine has one non global zone running a proxy server (nothing very exciting there!). non global zone has a local filesystem attached, but don't think this is the issue (on my test V210 I created the same sort of filesystem and was unable to replicate the problem :( ).
So 137137-09 is fine in the global zone (I had the non global zone halted when patch installed) it is also installed in the non global zone (ie, when zone boots it says it's at rev 137137-09 via uname) in the patch log in the non global zone I get this:
PKG=SUNWust2.v
Original package not installed.
pkgadd: ERROR: ERROR: unable to get zone brand: zonecfg_get_brand: No such zone configured
This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed. This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.
/usr/local/zones/cotchin/lu/dev/.SUNW_patches_1000109009-1847556-000000d3e42faa84/137137-09/FJSVcpcu/install/checkinstall: /usr/local/zones/cotchin/lu/dev/.SUNW_patches_1000109009-1847556-000000d3e42faa84/137137-09/FJSVcpcu/install/checkinstall: cannot open
pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully
Dryrun complete.
No changes were made to the system.
I'm not sure if the branding error is causing the checkinstall postpatch script error or if they are not related. There doesn't seem to be any obvious permissions problems that I can find. I have checked that all the pkg and patch patches are up to date on the system. Searching on the brand error gives me a link to a problem with 127127-11, but that was installed on the system before the local zone was created and all the other seemingly appropriate patches (eg: 119254) are all up to date or at a higher revision than recommended.
I see the same problem on a M5000 which has two non global zones on it.
Both machines had the Solaris 10 50/08 update bundle applied when it came out,a nd have had recommended patch sets applied at regular intervals since.
This issue only came to light when trying the latest bundles with 138888-01/02 in it, and those fail to install on the global zones because the non global zone install dies claiming 137137-09 is not installed (which is plainly wrong).
I've tried to recreate this on a test server but unfortunately everything works as it should, even though the test server has a similar history in terms of patches and original setup to the others.
I'm planning to try to detatch the non global zone and try an attach -u to see if it will update the patches properly, but I'm not holding out much hope on that one (I need to wait for a mainteiance window when I can take the zone down in a couple of days).
Any ideas?Well, I am following up to my own post it seems I have determined what is causing the problem, or at least situations where the problem can be reproduced which I have been able to do on my test system.
It seems that if the zone container's zonepath is in /usr (eg: /usr/zones, /usr/local/zones, or some other path under /usr) the patchadd of 137137-09 will fail with the log similar to posted above, and this will stop further kernel patches (eg: 138888-02) being added.
The test system had everything patched to current and searching the web I can't find any other instances of this being an issue, but I have reproduced this problem on my test machine (which worked OK because it's test zones were in a filesystem mounted as /zones). When I used zoneadd -z <zonename> move to a zone in /usr/local and applied 137137-09 the same problem came up.
Not sure what is causing this issue.. I imagine it might have to do with some sort of confusion with the patch utilities and the read-only loopback filesystems in the sparse root zone but I can't bs sure.
Maybe someone at sun will see this and figure out what the deal is :)
When I moved my test zone back to /zones the patch applied perfectly so it's definitely having it in /usr or /usr/local (I tried both locations, even though they are seperate ufs filesystems on my test server).
Oh I am running DiskSuite to mirror filesystems on my V210's which may or may not have anything to do with it.
Hope this helps someone in the future at least! -
My ipad will not swith on. It was working fine an hour earlier but when I press the power on button nothing happens. I have had it on charge just to be safe but no joy. This is a basic first version ipad. What options do I have?
Try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

The Ringer-Off switch is too inflexible for me... What options do I have?
The Ringer-Off switch is too inflexible for me... What options do I have?
Even with the Ringer Switch off, I still want some alerts and alarms to make noises, and not just vibrate.
It used to be that setting a Reminder could cause a Sound-Alert with the ringer switched off, but this is been "fixed" (broken) in iOS 6, I think.
Only Timer alarms can make sounds (via the speaker) with the ringer switched off, as far as I can tell, although Music and some other Non-Alarm apps can make sounds, somehow. I have heard no good explanation of how this is achieved.
What options do I have in which categories?ChrisJ4203 wrote: Okay, now we are getting somewhere. You do not want to use the mute switch.
Yes, I said that a couple of times, athough Ringer switch ON and OFF have unspecified senses, as I noted, so I said "Sound Enabled" to clarify.
I have been giving feedback to Apple for 27 yrs now, 100s of them, with not a single one acknowledged or implemented. Much better chatting here, and similar sites.
Since we cannot control Apple (Ha!) or encourage or affect them, it seems the switch must not be used to disable alerts and sounds, but to leave that to smarter software.
The "Do Not Disturb" switch is getting closer, but needs much much more flexibility, including for example, Sounds when email arrives from a specific person (like the ring-twice, and Allow Calls from Favourites, which I would NEVER do.)
An Allow-Calls from these numbers (list: x, y, z) would be nice, as Favourites includes people I would never want to interrupt me.
Perhaps Do Not Disturb by a 3rd party? Anyone know of such a thing? -
What options do I have if Best Buy doesn't honor what they sold you . . .
This is my first time ever to post, but I am at wits end and hoping for help from the community. I have been trying to resolve this issue for 6 months. Here's my situation.
My daugher is on her grandparents Verizon plan. Let's name her line B. I am autherized to purchase on the account. My daugher's phone was lost and she needed another one for security reasons. I called around to the Best Buys that we'd be near while travling and found one close by with the phone she wanted. The representative was excellent. Very very helpful and went the extra mile. He told me all about the edge program and how we were only going to pay an extra $10 a month for 2 years because we'd receive a $25 monthly credit. Then after 2 years we could surender the phone just pay taxes and upgrade the phone. The Best Buy representive called for apporval to make sure he could use a upgrade from line A for my daughter line B and still receive the edge. So he double checked to make sure everything would be seemless. This occured Oct 24, 2014. After the first bill it was all but seemless!!
So in November I went to Best Buy, they sent me to Verizon, I went to Verizon, they sent me to Best Buy, Best Buy sent me to another Verizon and spoke to a supervisor. I was shown the error in Best Buys transaction. Best Buy upgraded line A to the edge but since there was no smartphone attached to line A, we did not recieve the $25 credit. Verizon sent me back to Best Buy and said Best Buy need to honor what they sold me. I went back to Best Buy close to my home. That Best Buy told me only the Best Buy I bought it from could help me. I had to call them because they are 5 hours and 6 minutes from my home. It took a few more calls before I spoke the mobile manager and he was going to investigate. Then it was the holidays and he didn't get back to me. I completely understood,. I called he and he said he hadn't forgotten me. Finally in December he told me he met with Ashley the Verison's Best Buy representive. According to him a Best Buy mobile supervision they would going to credit the account $50 for Novemeber and December. After that point we'd see the $25 edge credit. He said he'd forward me the email. I never recieved the email. I drove the 5 hours and 6 minutes to the store and he was off that day, but left a message for him to call me and please forward the email. No phone call, no forward email. So I called again, he was on vacation and wouldn't be in until after his vacation mid January. I was hopeful, but no credit on the bill in Jan 2105. I spoke to him again after his vacation and he promised to forward the email from Verison. Now it is Feb, still nothing, no email, no credit, no follow-up. I drive back there and had to speak the a store Manger, because the mobile manager has now been promoted to another area and he is off that day. The manager assures me the promoted moblie manager will contact me. But he doesn't. I call the store manger and he has the promoted mobile manager call finally me. The promoted mobile manager asks me for a copy of the bill. Fine, I get it to him. I'll have to fax it or mail it, but I would get it to him. Then the bill comes in with a $50 credit!!! Yay, I think they have it resolved, nope. April bill comes in no $25 edge credit.
I call the new mobile manager, poor soul, he doesn't know the situation. He took my information and meet with Ashley from Verizon. He calls me back, wow, he calls me back!!! I am so thankful. Then he starts talking about Best Buy in the third person! He doesn't know what "they" told me. When I bought the phone "they" put it on line A, then "they" transferred it to line B. He's referring to his Best Buy representative in the third person. Talking about me buying the phone's contract for $600 plus dollars. I started to see red. So I ended oiur conversation to collect myself and called him back. Poor buy! Next conversation he explains that I need to put a smart phone on line A. I can buy a new one, use an old one, whatever, but line A needs a verison smart phone on it. He doesn't know why the promoted mobile manager didn't tell me this before. But since he didn't I'm out at least $150 that no one is willing to refund me. If I give line A the iPhone from line B, I won't have a phone for line B, unless I have one or buy a new one. He was kind enough to agree this was no fault of my own, but that of the Best Buy representive sold me the first time and the promoted mobile manager for not communicating the situation. So this is Best Buy's solution - grandpa who never wants more than his ancient flip phone has to get my daughers iPhone, my daugher get no phone or I have to buy one, and I'm out at least $150 (or more depending on how long this takes to resolve). I didn't even ask but I am sure the iPhone at some point must be surendered. The store manager is aware of the situation and he will call me tomorrow, or will he????
So, do I just accept that they made a mistake, they can't honor their deal because it is a contract with Verison and I have to pay for it? I feel helpless and frustrated. We're under contract for another 2 years.Hello nvtrev,
It can be difficult to keep track of all of your belongings while traveling, and it is discouraging to hear your daughter may have lost her phone during travel. While things certainly seemed to have gone awry, I’m glad to hear that your initial experience purchasing a new phone for your daughter was pleasant.
When our customers come to us for phone purchases, they should trust that we are able to communicate with their carrier’s systems to process a phone purchase seamlessly. It certainly seems that we may have missed something during your upgrade, causing you to miss out on the billing credit and that you’ve put forth a valiant effort to try to find a resolution to this issue.
As I am sadly not equipped to personally take a closer look into this issue, could you please share with me the store location and any first names of managers you have been working with regarding these concerns? With the store location and manager names, I would be delighted to reach out to the store’s leadership to better research this experience to see what options we may have for you.
I look forward to your correspondence!
Sincerely,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

My Ipod touch 8gb will not turn back on no matter what i do i have tried just the power button, the power button and home button, and connecting it to the computer and the battery wasn't close to being dead non of them work what do i do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have never had the issues I am having with the latest update to Yosemite. Is there a fix/update for this?
For what? It works fine for me on three different computers. If you want a fix for something then be more specific.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help
If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc. -
Non-Global Zones - how can I tell what the Global Zone is
Hi,
I have a host that I know is a non-global zone (ngz). I can ssh to the ngz as root or a non-privileged user.
But once there how do I know what the host name for the global zone is?
I could probably run a script from all global zones to report all running zones and so I'd know that way but I have a specific need to know from inside the ngz.
Thanks!

That's a built-in security feature; and I know of no way to circumvent this mechanism.
I had some hope that there was a way to 'see' at least the global-zone information from the zone. From the shell the 'zone' commands are available ..
:# zoneadm list -cv
ID NAME STATUS PATH
48 hostname_svn running / So it's at least aware that it is a zone, even if it can't tell me anything else about itself. I can still go the long way around to get the information for my need, thanks.
The global zone is the only thing that can see everything. The non-global zones can only see information specific to their zone.
This is by design and it really is a security mechanism. You don't want the zones running outside of their boundaries and information about the global zone (or any other zone) is outside the boundaries of a non-global zone.

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the IPad to the IPhone and not the other way around.
The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes The app continually crashes during the picture import. AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos. The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes. I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone. I have 10Gb free. I have 6600 photoes. This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products. My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also. It does the exact same thing to it. The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process. But it will import every photo a few at a time. The error message is just that itunes has stopped working. no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time. You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is. I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities. Ultimately they were of no use. I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.
