Sun Update Connection - Enterprise Release Notes

General Issues

This section describes issues that you might encounter while using Sun Update Connection – Enterprise software. For issues introduced in a specific release, see Release-Specific Issues.

BMI Is Unavailable

Description:

The bare metal installation server (BMI) module is not available.

Workaround:

If you are interested in creating and using a BMI server with Sun Update Connection - Enterprise, please contact your Sun Sales representative.

Agent Installation Script Can Fail on All Versions of Solaris (#6482852)

Description:

Agent installation fails on Solaris with:

./Install: not found

Cause:

The agent installation script requires the 'bash' shell which is not a standard shell on Solaris.

Workaround:

Install the SUNWbash package from your Solaris installation media.

Note –

The bash shell is also required to be able to run the agent.

Missing Agents for RH AS_2.1 and ES_2.1 in Sun Update Connection - Enterprise (#6456194)

Description:

Sun Update Connection - Enterprise does not provide agents for RH AS_2.1 and ES_2.1.

Workaround:

New agents are not available at this time.

"Internal Query Failed" Message When Running Job on New Installation (#6470383)

Description:

On a fresh installation of Sun Update Connection - Enterprise, if the first job created uses any policy other than "Ask Me", the user will get an error when running the job: "internal query failed". This problem will also occur when running BMI, which uses pre-defined policy.

Workaround:

Create and run a job which uses a policy of "Ask Me". Subsequent jobs will then run without displaying the above error, regardless of the policy they use.

SDS Appears to Download Content That is Already Cached (#6456161)

Description:

Sometimes the System Dependency Server appears as if it is downloading content that is already cached and available to the agent.

Workaround:

This is a reporting error in the user interface. Content that is available in the cache is not downloaded again.

Scheduling Recurring Jobs (#6456169)

When scheduling a recurring job, you must select the specific day or days when you specify the Day of Week or Day of Month.

Downloading Solaris Components (#6459005)

When you plan to download Solaris components, such as patches, ensure that the following utilities are installed on the SDS machine:

If any of these utilities are missing, the download of Solaris patches might fail, although the error logs do not always indicate that a missing utility was the cause.
