I was installing the recommended patch bundle for Solaris 10 and I received an error that the server is not a Solaris 10
root@solaris10:/tmp/patch/10_Recommended # ./installpatchset —-apply-prereq —-s10patchset
ERROR: Target boot environment not identified as being Solaris 10.root@solaris10:/tmp/patch/10_Recommended # uname -a

In this case, it was missing the file /var/sadm/SUNWcsr/pkginfo

There is two recommendations to solve this problem:
– reinstall the server
– restore from backup
