I just patched several boxes with the Recommended & Security cluster.
All the boxes are the same (Solaris 9) but one reports 122300-19 as
the
kernel when I use 'uname -a' and all the others correctly show
122300-21.
What's wrong with that one box? I applied 122300-21 to it and it
even
shows up in 'showrev -p'
Thanks in advance

I saw this in Solaris 8 once. It meant the patch hadn't applied
correctly. We did work out what had gone wrong, but I don't
remember now what that was.

Hi,

is / mirrored (e.g. SDS etc.)? If yes, then please double check that
the bootdisk (used from the OBP, e.g. "rootdisk" or "rootmirror") is
the same as the rootdisk (e.g. still active in "metastat" output etc.).

Bye,
Wolfgang.

And you *did* reboot all of the machines after installing the patches?
With "uname -a" you get the version of the running kernel, not the one
on disk.

And if it turns out that the system boots from a stale submirror, then
reboot the system from the good submirror and resync/metareplace the
mirror.

Seen this several times. Was very puzzled the first time :-)
