Description
Error Message
CPI ERROR V-9-20-1273 Unable to contact configured publishers on
Cause
Solaris 11 introduced the new Image Packaging System (IPS) and sets a default publisher (solaris) during Solaris installation.
When additional packages are being installed, the set publisher must be accessible for the installation to succeed.
If the publisher is inaccessible, as in the case of a private network, then package installation will fail.
The following commands can be used to display the set publishers:
pkg publisher
Example:
root@sol11-03:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris origin online http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
root@sol11-03:~# pkg publisher solaris Publisher: solaris
Alias:
Origin URI: http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
SSL Key: None
SSL Cert: None
Client UUID: 00000000-3f24-fe2e-0000-000068120608
Catalog Updated: October 20, 2011 09:53:00 PM
Enabled: Yes
Signature Policy: verify
Resolution
1) Disable the publisher (in this case solaris)
pkg set-publisher --disable solaris
Note: Where High Availability products will be installed (VCS, CFS, RAC), the above command should be run on all cluster nodes to be installed, as the message will occur for each cluster node.
Attempt to repeat the installation without running the command on all the nodes will result in continued failure and messages from the installer for the remaining nodes where the command was not run.
2) Repeat the Installation of Storage Foundation High Availability 6.x product.
3) Re-enable the original publisher (again, perform the command to re-enable on all cluster nodes). If the publisher is still inaccessible (private network etc), then the no-refresh option can be used to re-enable it:
pkg set-publisher --enable solaris
or
pkg set-publisher --enable --no-refresh solaris
Note: Unsetting the publisher will have a similar effect, except that the publisher can only be re-set if it is accessible
See pkg(1) for further information on the pkg utility.
