patchadd Command Does Not Support Installing Patches From an NFS Server (6188748)
If you use the patchadd command to install patches across the NFS from another system, the command fails. The following example shows a patchadd operation that failed and the error message that is displayed:
Validating patches... Loading patches installed on the system... [...] Loading patches requested to install. [...] Checking patches that you specified for installation. [...] Approved patches will be installed in this order: [...] Checking local zones... [...] Summary for zones: [...] Patches that passed the dependency check: [...] Patching global zone Adding patches... Checking installed patches... Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)... Installing patch packages... Patch Patch_ID has been successfully installed. See /var/sadm/patch/Patch_ID/log for details Patch packages installed: SUNWroute [...] Adding patches... The patch directory /dev/.SUNW_patches_0111105334-1230284-00004de14dcb29c7 cannot be found on this system. [...] Patchadd is terminating. |
Workaround: Manually copy all of the patches to be installed from the NFS server to the local system first. Then use the patchadd command to install the patches from the directory on the local system where the patches were copied.
