Can anyone inform what I am reading under showrev -p?

My / partition is filling up after the upgrade I want to delete old
stuff that are no longer needed.

I went into smc>system configuration>patches
-It has alot of patch-id under "installed patches" and another column
shows "description" but under it shows as "not available". Is it safe
to delete these?

Thanks
Joe

2.Updating Solaris 9 12/03 to Solaris 9 9/05

3.Live Upgrade broken for Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 upgrade

Has anyone else run into this problem?  I'm using Live Upgrade to upgrade
a Solaris 9 server to Solaris 10.  I created a boot environment on a
separate disk, and then upgraded it to Solaris 10 with `luupgrade -u'.
Now when I go to use `luupgrade -t' to apply the latest Solaris 10
patches to it, I get this...

  Validating the contents of the media </var/tmp/patches>.
  The media contains 220 software patches that can be added.
  All 220 patches will be added because you did not specify any specific patches to add.
  Mounting the BE <s10lu>.
  ERROR: The boot environment <s10lu> supports non-global zones.The current boot environment does not support non-global zones. Releases prior to Solaris 10 cannot be used to maintain Solaris 10 and later releases that include support for non-global zones. You may only execute the specified operation on a system with Solaris 10 (or later) installed.

Is there a way to make this work?  The new BE can't possibly contain a
a non-global zone.

4.Solaris 10 (build 63) upgrade fails on Solaris 8 as well as Solaris 9 sparcs

Hello
         Using the Solaris 10 build 63 for sparc.

Tried to do upgrades on the following two machines.

1. E4500  Solaris 8 (117350-11 Kernel level)
    Entire Distribution OEM support cluster, OBP 3.2.30.

2. Ultra 2  Solaris 9 Entire Distribution and OEM support cluster.

On both machines the upgrade starts when I put the CD 1 and and reaches to
the point where I have to select whether I want to do "Initial Install" or
"Upgrade".

When I check upgrade it starts initializing the system and halfway through I
get the follwoing error

"Could not reinitialize the system state".

At which point I have no option but to click OK on the error and exit out of
the install process.

Has anyone seen this can anyone provide any tips or pointers.?????

Thanks
Sandeep

5.Can't locate Emulex LP-9802 HBAs after Solaris 10 & Emulex lpfc driver upgrade

Hello,

Our Fujitsu PrimePower 850 server has 7 LP9802 and 1 LP9802-F2 HBAs.
We just upgraded the OS from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 (10/08).
Everything went well.  Afterwards, we installed the Emulex lpfc 6.11c
driver.  Surprisingly, we didn't see any of the HBAs via "lputil".
Does anyone know the reason why and how we can see all 8 HBAs ?    All
of the HBAs were visable in Solaris 8 under Emulex lpfc 6.02f driver.

Thanks for your assistance.

Bill
