Issue: patch 121308-## disables smcserver, preventing smc from seeing
any tools on host machine, or any others, for that matter.

Symptoms: Clean, virgin install of Solaris 10, latest release. SMC runs
correctly, works fine.

Run update - reboot. Among the patches installed is 121308-## (14 in
this case), and smc fails - smcserver can not start.

Now all I have to do to fix this is patchrm 121308-##. Try smc after
reboot, and smcserver is fine.

Found solution to my problem on SunSolve, but I am interested in the
CAUSE...

Has anyone else ran into this on any system and, if so, do you happen to
know why this crash destroys smc, when it's an smc patch?!?!?

Thank you in advance,
Ed Otto

P.S.: Same issue, 4 systems: Enterprise 450 Server, Untra-80, 2
Ultra-60s, all different hardware and configs...same release of op sys.

Can you determine if earlier versions of this patch cause a problem?
I see that there is no 121308-14 on sunsolve, which makes me suspect
they've rolled back to the pre-problem one (-12).
