Hello,
I have a Solaris 10 machine with one non-global zone. When I try to do
pkgadd or pkgrm of any package it complains about not being able to do
it on the non-global zone, and therefore fails for the global zone as well:
## Waiting for up to <300> seconds for package administration commands
to become available (another user is administering packages on zone <xxxx>)
pkgadd: ERROR: Unable to acquire package administration lock for zone
<xxxx>; please try again later
pkgadd: ERROR: Unable to acquire lock on non-global zone <xxxx>:
releasing all locks
pkgadd: ERROR: unable to lock zones to perform operations
I checked to make sure there are no lock files in either /tmp or
/var/sadm/pkg on both zones.
I can do a pkgadd with the -G option (global zone only), but I'm trying
to install a large application from a vendor so it's impractical to
trace every one of their install scripts and find where it does a
pkgadd. Plus there's no -G option to pkgrm so I can never uninstall
(not even packages that were installed with -G to begin with.)
We have plenty of S10 machines running non-global zones and this is only
a problem on this one machine. Can't find any mention of it on Sun's
web site or Google.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
