Are you sure this is the latest Solaris 2.6 patches?

Patch 105181-35 is from Mar 2004. However, the latest Solaris 2.6
Recommended Cluster from Feb 2005 contains 105181-39.
I'd say get the latest directly from Sun and install it.

Otherwise is there some reason you're stuck on Solaris 2.6?
If you're able to load something newer there would be better support via
patches vice that for an EOL product.
I'm not positive exactly what product SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-Engine maps to,
but a Google search implies it should be capable of running at least Solaris
9.
