Solaris Global/Zones patching
Issue is : We have Solaris Global with 12 Zones and some have 15 Zones. All the OS version are10.
Is it possible to apply patch at Zone level instead of patching at Global level? Please let me know.

NAME
zcons - Zone console device driver
DESCRIPTION
The zcons character driver exports the console for system zones. The driver is comprised of two "sides:" a master side with which applica-
tions in the global zone communicate, and a slave side, which receives I/O from the master side. The slave side is available in the global
zones.
Applications must not depend on the location of /dev or /devices entries exported by zcons. Inside a zone, the zcons slave side is fronted
by /dev/console and other console-related symbolic links, which are used by applications that expect to write to the system console.
The zcons driver is Sun Private, and may change in future releases.
FILES
/dev/zcons/<zonename>/masterconsole
Global zone master side console for zone <zonename>.
/dev/zcons/<zonename>/slaveconsole
Global zone slave side console for zone <zonename>.
/dev/zconsole
Non-global zone console (slave side).
