What's up with the below error while installing the latest Solaris 9 patch
cluster from a diskless client? It does not happen with all of them just a
few.

Installing 112923-03...
Feb 26 10:17:59 node2e nfs: NFS write error on host spark2e: Stale NFS file
handle.
Feb 26 10:17:59 node2e nfs: (file handle: 8000b7 2 a0000 3952 36c68b65 a0000

  Installation of 112923-03 failed. Return code 8.

TIA
