I installed a patch 119535-33 to fix a flash archive issue which
patches sunwinst, the issue is it creates version 3.0 flash archvies,
so I have to patch the jumpstart server.

The issue I have is when I patch the jumpstart server with the
required patch, it requires so many patches which require other
patches and falis:

Patchadd is terminating.
[uk-pth-msp-t-gcsm1:/] # patchadd -C /export/mr /jumpstart/software/
miniroot_patches/124630-69

Cannot check name /export/mr/var/sadm/pkg.
Cannot open input /export/mr
Checking installed patches...
ERROR: This patch requires the following patches
which have not been applied to the system:
119081-25 119252-18 120199-09 126677-02

I tried -u, and it fails, just with "patchadd terminated"

How can I patch the miniroot with this patch? any tips?


This is from the README of patch 119534-27 which I had installed.

Note 11: Flash archives created after applying this patch will have a
new
version number: 3.0. The following patch must be applied to
the
miniroot of install images used for installing this new
version
of flash archives:

124630-51 (or greater) System Administration Applications,
Network,
and Core Libraries Patch

You will have to install the required patches as well, there's no way
around that. You could use PCA to find out the complete list of patches
to install:

$ pca -R /export/mr --list 124630

To download (have your MOS account ready) and install the listed patches
use:

$ pca -R /export/mr --install 124630
