When running the smpatch update command, any of the following errors appear:
Cannot connect to retrieve patchdb: Connection refused |
Or:
Cannot connect to retrieve patchdb: Connection timed out |
Or:
Unknown host (host-name) connecting to http://host-name/ |
This problem might be caused by a network failure between the client and the patch server, or the patch server is down.
Ensure that patchpro.patch.source points to a valid patch source.
Check the condition of the network.
If your patch management environment includes a local patch server, ensure that it is up and running.
If the problem is between your system and Sun, wait for the issue to be resolved.
