have you patched this box before??
it sounds like your last patching went very badly.....

wait for other to chip in advise, but I feel you may be looking at a re-install....

Hi ,

If i reinstall, it says that all the patches are already installed and they are skipping.

And I also found that , we cannot uninstall kernel patches and install it.

Any solution for installing all the patches fresh.

I was not talking about re-installing patches.....
I was talking about re-installing the whole system.

I just hope some other member has a better answer for you.
I feel there maybe a better answer, I just dont know it.

whats the output of showrev ? make sure its not diff from uname -a (possible corruption of patch DB and you might need to re-install the OS)
Also, were you using the Recommended cluster patch ? You SHOULD do that..
