advice on patching

Hi..

I have 3 t5120s, with 4,2,2 zones respctively. All 3 systems are Solaris 10 and the zones too.

I would like to pach these systems. Can some one tell me best policies on patching such systems with zone. I assume only global zones will have to be patched and then non global zones get patched automatically but extra time involved..while I do not have to do anything specifically to non global zones with regards to patching them..

Also I hope using patch cluster for patching these systems (in run level 1 ) should do like a stand alone system with no zones..

how much time would it take for patching zone systems, I assume total patch install will be time for 1 machine x number of zones..


Any advice in patching systems with zones is appreciated!

Thanks

ZPRINT(1)						      General Commands Manual							 ZPRINT(1)

NAME
zprint - show information about kernel zones SYNOPSIS
zprint [-w] [-s] [-c] [-h] [name] DESCRIPTION
zprint(1) displays data about Mach zones. By default, zprint will print out information about all Mach zones. If the optional name is specified, zprint will print information about each zone for which name is a substring of the zone's name. zprint interprets the following options: -w For each zone, zprint calculates how much space is allocated but not currently in use, the space wasted by the zone. -s zprint sorts the zones, showing the wasting the most memory first. -c (Default) zprint prints zone info in columns. Long zone names are truncated with '$', and spaces are replaced with '.', to allow for sorting by column. Pageable and collectible zones are shown with 'P' and 'C' on the far right. Zones with preposterously large maximum sizes are shown with '----' in the max size and max num elts fields. -h (Default) Shows headings for the columns printed with the -c option. It may be useful to override this option when sorting by col- umn. Any option (including default options) can be overridden by specifying the option in upper-case; for example, -C overrides the (default) option -c. SEE ALSO
