Solaris

Good evening,

I am trying to install the oracle 10 in Solaris 10 and oracle requires following patches to be installed:

117837-08
117846-19
118682-01

I have downloaded above from sunsolve.com and when I add the patch with following
command:

patchadd -M xxxxx

the are not installed and its output is:



[root@monster /tmp/Oracle/Oracle_Patches] - patchadd -M 118682-01
Validating patches...

Loading patches installed on the system...

Done!

Loading patches requested to install.

Cannot check name 118682-01.

Done!

No patches to dependency check.




Any help or hint? Of course I make sure the dependencies are followed.

Thanks,
aa
Thread: Solaris 10 does not mount CD/DVD ROM Reply to Thread

have you tried the patchadd command without the "-M" option?

cd to the directory where you have unpacked your patch. then,,
patchadd -d 118682-01

the "-d" is a bad option for the patchadd command! it disable the backout option... so the patch can't be removed if you face problems...

better just use "patchadd patchid".

Hi,

First of all thanks for reply. When I ran patchadd without -M I get following:

[root@unknown /Desktop/PATCHES/Oracle_Patches] - patchadd 117846-19
Validating patches...

Loading patches installed on the system...

Done!

Loading patches requested to install.

Version of package SPROlang from directory SPROlang in patch 117846-19 differs from the package installed on the system.
Version of package SPROlangx from directory SPROlangx in patch 117846-19 differs from the package installed on the system.
Done!

The following requested patches do not update any packages installed on the system
No Packages from patch 117846-19 are installed on the system.

No patches to dependency check.


But problem is patchadd -p | patchnum does not return any result that this patch already exist.
from message itself one can say that patch is already installed but not.

Any idea?

Thanks again.

Cheers,
aa

try:

Code:

showrev -p | grep patchid

It wont give you the patch output, since install was not succesful
