The create update Command Fails When Copying Solaris Packages and Patches From a URL (6324124)

The create update command does not work if you specify a valid Solaris package or patch through a URL (http://). An error similar to the following is displayed:

# ./n1sh create update sol file http://10.11.1.35/scs/SVR4/SCSFpoppl.pkg ostype solaris10x86
File "http://10.11.1.35/scs/SVR4/SCSFpoppl.pkg" exists but is not a valid update file.

Workaround: You must first download the package or patch to a location that is accessible from the management server and then specify a fully qualified path to the package or patch.
