If update-ux quits after you extended a volume size, you may see an error
containing these lines:
ERROR: The command: /var/adm/sw filter
/var/adm/sw/update-ux/swinstall...
This error will be logged in /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log:
Error: Cannot lock "/" because another command hold a
conflicting lock ...
This error indicates that other processes have locked the root volume,
preventing update-ux from completing a successful update.
Action: Wait 10 minutes and retry the update-ux command again.
After updating a system containing MirrorDisk/UX, an error message in
/var/adm/sw/swagent.logwill state that a patch needs re-installing.
For example:
WARNING: The patch,PHCO_23333, will install correctly on your
current system configuration; however, if you ever choose to
install the product B2491BA, "MirrorDisk/UX", you will need to
reinstall this patch after installing the optional product. ...
This indicates that a patch for MirrorDisk/UX was installed with the
update, but needs re-installing again to take effect.
Action: Find the patch on the Support Plus CD, either in the
GOLDAPPS11i or HWEnable11i bundle, and re-install it using the
swinstall command. See Chapter 4 for help.
See "Kernel build fails on 64-bit install" on page 100.
If the CDE screen lock function is enabled prior to an update, the screen
could lock during the update, preventing you from interacting with the
system. Disabling the screen lock function is explained under "Updating
Tips" in Chapter 2.
