PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:


SMCC is currently shipping Sun Enterprise Library Monitor 1.0 (LibMON)
bundled with the Sun StorEdge tape libraries that are identified above.  
At this time LibMON 1.0 is NOT compatible with any version of Solaris 2.6. 
Thus, customers using Sun StorEdge tape libraries on systems installed 
with Solaris 2.6 will be unable to use LibMON 1.0.

In response to the above stated problem with LibMON 1.0 and Solaris 2.6
compatibility, Patch ID# 105850 was released in order to resolve the 
issue.  Subsequently, after the release of Patch ID# 105850 several
escalations have occurred which involved the installation of the patch.
 
This UPDATED FIN has been released with the intent to issue an ALERT to  
all customers and Field Service Representatives that plan to install
Patch ID# 105850.  If the patch is installed in the /tmp directory
the following error will be encountered:

	# ./installpatch 

 WARNING: /usr/sbin/patchadd is being used to install this patch.
          Installpatch will be removed from Solaris patches in
          the next release of Solaris.

     cat: cannot open /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWlmon/install/deletes_CLIENTROOT
 
 	Patch packages installed:
   	SUNWlmon

Upon further investigation of the above stated patch install problem, it  
has been noted that the prebackout script uses the directory /tmp/105850-01 
as a temporary file area.  The prebackout script overwrites information in 
the "105850-01/SUNWlmon" area which causes the installation to suspend
and 
fail.


CORRECTIVE ACTION:


Customers and Field Service Representatives that have a need to utilize 
LibMON 1.0 on Sun StorEdge tape libraries that are hosted by systems 
running Solaris 2.6 are prompted to follow the recommendation below 
for successful Patch ID# 105850 installation.


1. When installing patch 105850, do NOT use the "/tmp" directory as
the
   temporary patch directory.  This will cause the patch installation to
   suspend and fail.

2. If you must install from the "/tmp" directory.  First create a 
   "patch_install" sub-directory and copy the tape archive/compress
patch
   file into the created sub-directory. Then follow the patch installation 
   procedures.
