Very Computer

Hi,

I've installed a package by using pkgadd -G and now I want to uninstall
something on a Solaris 10 system with a sub zone.  I looked into Sun's
documentation for pkgrm and it said I could use -G just as I could with
pkgadd.  However, when I did a man on pkgrm, -G is not listed.  I came
across a post that says -G isn't implemented yet.

When I just use pkgrm, it'll display the following:

## Waiting for up to <300> seconds for package administration commands
to become available (another user is administering packages on zone
<ember>)

(ember is the subzone)

How do I get around this problem?

Thanks

Hi P,

take a look at pkginfo(4). There you can find a description of 3 new
Parameter.
SUNW_PACKAGE_ALLZONES is the on of interest for you.

HTH,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply.  I've read it before and correct me if I'm wrong
but if  SUNW_PACKAGE_ALLZONES is not defined as a parameter in pkginfo,
it's treated as FALSE and that's the value I want?

Sorry I forgot to mention that I installed the package in the global
zone with the -G option.

The following message was displayed when I tried to do a pkgrm in the
global zone (note: ember is a non-global zone):

## Waiting for up to <300> seconds for package administration commands
to become available (another user is administering packages on zone
<ember>)
