Remarks
4 nslookup(1M) results on Solaris 10 differ from those of Solaris 9 or older versions.
e.g.)
z Solaris 9
# nslookup
> aaa213.sample.test.com.
Server: aaat11.sample.test.com
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.nnn
Name: aaa13.sample.test.com
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.mmm
Aliases: aaa213.sample.test.com, aaa113.sample.test.com
z Solaris 10
# nslookup
> aaa213.sample.test.com.
Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.nnn
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.nnn#xx
aaa213.sample.test.com canonical name = aaa113.sample.test.com.
aaa113.sample.test.com canonical name = aaa13.sample.test.com.
Name: aaa13.sample.test.com
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.mmm
* aaa113.sample.test.com is an alias of aaa13.sample.test.com
* aaa213.sample.test.com is an alias of aaa113.sample.test.com.
1) Physical device (/devices) entries for hard disk drive are removed at system
reboot if the hard disk driver is removed from the system before system reboot.
e.g.)
# cd /dev/rdsk
# ls -l c1t6d0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 May 28 11:19 c1t6d0s0 ->../../devices/pci@1f,0
/pci@5/scsi@2/sd@6,0:a,raw
# ls -lL c1t6d0*
c1t6d0s0: No such file or directory
2) “iostat –E” and “drcstat –device” may not show all connected physical devices
right after system boot.

This behavior of devfs on Solaris 10, is to be expected. /devices entries are updated
dynamically when each device is actually attached. As a result, device entries that have
not been attached after system boot, are not displayed by those commands.
If non-global zones are not booted, patchadd(1M) and patchrm(1M) will make all
non-global zones boot up temporarily during patch installation and removal. As a result
the total time for patch installation and removal will take much longer than booting up in
single user mode.
6
Boot all non-global zones in single user mode before installing and removing patches.

global# zoneadm –z myzone boot -s
