Local Patch Server Does Not Work Properly

Description:

You encounter other problems while using a patch management environment with one or more local patch servers.

Workaround:

Do the following:

1. Verify that the client system's configuration settings are correct.

   # smpatch get

2. Verify that the local patch server's configuration settings are correct.

   # patchsvr setup -l

3. View the /var/patchsvr/logs/catalina.out and /var/patchsvr/logs/localhost_log.date.txt log files on the local patch server.

4. View the system log file /var/adm/messages on the client system.

5. Run the snoop command on the client system or on the local patch server to see if the data is being downloaded from the local patch server to the client.
