Using patchadd in a Non-Global Zone

When used in a non-global zone by the zone administrator, patchadd can only be used to add patches to that zone. A patch can be added to a non-global zone in the following cases:

• The patch does not affect any area of the zone that is shared from the global zone.
• All packages in the patch are set SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES=false.

The following steps are performed by the patchadd utility:

• The patch is added to the zone.
• The patch database on the zone is updated.
