***************************************************

you try to install patches for packages that are not installed. which update of solaris do you use? check and post the output of "less /etc/release".

The recommended patch clusters from Sun contain a lot of patches and it is normal for some of them to fail to install because of missing dependent packages or patches.
If you're worried you should read the documentation for the failed patches and see if they patch software that actually exists on your system. If you don't have it installed then don't worry about the patch failing.

error codes?
some are common and you can ignore them (example 2,8 etc.)

...error code 8

try in this way:

# script /tmp/p.log
# ./install_cluster

# grep failed /tmp/p.log | egrep -v 'code 2|code 8' | less

so you can compare the codes with this: Solaris Patch Return Codes - patchadd

Could some one tell what REV is?

To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.

First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags

```text
 and 
```

by hand.)

Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.

Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.

Thanks, just i wana to highlight the errors... Thats y i used colors..

the first paragraph tells you about codes tags... which you should use when post outputs from commands!

Once the 1st round of patching was done, do a reboot -- -r. Go to single user and run install_cluster(recommended patches) followed by patchadd -M . patchorder (extra patches)
