Changes

Running install_smu against a Solaris 11.1 SRU 11.4 global zone with IDR 1400 install in the local zones

Cause

The Install_smu script is not capable of building a plan for this condition and the install_smu --check action does not detect it . Bug 21139001 - SCMU_2015.04 install SMU does not handle idr1400 in zones

Solution

Unmount the failed BE , destroy it , remove the IDR 1400 form the local zones and then repeat the install_smu process.

#beadm umount SCMU_2015.04

#beadm destroy SCMU_2015.04

If you get a beadm destroy failure verify you are deleting the proper BE and if you are go ahaead and remove it with beadm destroy -fSCMU_2015.04

#for i in `zoneadm list |grep -v global`
do
zlogin $i pkg update --reject pkg://solaris/idr1400@5,5.11 pkg:/shell/bash@4.1.9,5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.0:20120904T174226Z
done

If this is installed in the global zone as well then run #pkg update --reject pkg://solaris/idr1400@5,5.11 pkg:/shell/bash@4.1.9,5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.0:20120904T174226Z in the global too

#./install_smu --install
