[Johnson Punniyalingam]

Hi Guys,

please see attachment

Thanks,
Johnson

when you go to the disk_space tab in the swinstall gui, what filesystem does it complain about?

how much it says it needs ?

[Dennis Handly]

Why did the Disk Space Analysis fail?
When you "press the "Disk Space..." button." what did you get? Your log file is scrambled.

You need to use command line swinstall to install the patch, not sam, so we don't get unhelpful junk:
swinstall -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s $PWD/PHSS_35385.depot \*

Hi Johnson,

You can always look into /var/adm/sw/swagent.log which will provide the filesystem space issues if any..

Can you provide the tail portion of /var/adm/sw/swagend.log ?

Hi Johnson,


cant say really as the Disk analysis shows but are there any big open files on /var/ and/or /usr that is not reflecting in here.

as an alternative could you try installing the Superseeding patches for PHSS_35385

that is PHSS_38154 or PHSS_39077.


though nothing seems to be coming in the swagentd logs as being generated speciafically for the Space Analysis.(or might be i Overlooked!!)


as evident from the Logs there is no dependency issue as the dependant patch is already on the system


regards

What you attached above is the swagentd.log file. This does not show the errors. You need to look in the swinstall.log file and find "failed Disk Space Analysis" text and see what else is mentioned in there.

Hi Johnson,

You need to provide the swagent.log not swagentd.log. It's typo on my previous post.

Provide the portion which descripes the PHSS_35385 installation logs.

[TTr]

I wonder why the var filesystem shows up with two slashes " //var " in the swinstal screen. Check the bdf output and /etc/fstab to see if there is a problem. Multiple slashes in a path string are treated as one and you can still navigate the filesystem but if you have two slashes in /etc/fstab, swinstall might get confused.

[Dennis Handly]

Simply tell swinstall to mind its own business:
swinstall -x enforce_dsa=false -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s $PWD/PHSS_35385.depot \*

Unfortunately this isn't something to do lightly. TTr may have the solution?
