unexpected failure in ELF signature verification.
JulianGMar 15 2013 — edited Mar 29 2013Hi - hope someone can help me with some errors I'm seeing on one of our T4 servers after patching. This is a T4-1 server running a couple of non-global zones, after patching this server with Oracle's recommended patchset from a couple of weeks ago I keep seeing the following in the messages file:

This began to appear as soon as the server came back up after the reboot, these messages are being seen on both of the non-global zones that are running.
The global server is:
System Configuration: Oracle Corporation sun4v SPARC T4-1
Memory size: 65024 Megabytes
Generic_147147-26
NAME: Recommended OS Patchset Solaris 10 SPARC
DATE: 2013.02.14
Thanks - Julian.
