Withdrawn Updates in Clusters

When Sun publishes an Update Cluster on http://www.sun.com, only the latest version is published. This is the recommended cluster to install.

If a job to install an updatecluster is marked as failed, the job might include a withdrawn update. To troubleshoot the job, determine if the cluster includes updates that Sun withdrew. Withdrawn updates cannot be maintained by Sun Update Connection – Enterprise, because they are not maintained by Sun. If a cluster includes a withdrawn update, the cluster cannot be installed.

In some cases, an update is withdrawn just minutes after a cluster is published. For this reason, check the cluster for withdrawn updates before attempting to install the cluster.

If the latest cluster published by Sun has a withdrawn update, wait for the next publication.

To Check a Cluster for Withdrawn Updates

Before You Begin

Ensure that the Inventory panel of the main window is available by selecting View, then selecting Inventory.

1. From the Components list, right-click a cluster and choose Details.

   The Details window opens.

2. Open the Rules tab and expand the list of updates of the cluster.

   If even one of the updates is marked with WITHDRAWN, the cluster cannot be installed.
