Resolution

Resolving the installation error.

Manually install the VRTSvcs, VRTSvcsag, and VRTSvcsea packages as follows:
1.Stop VCS using:
  global># hastop -all -force
2.Copy the bundled patch file VRTSpatches.p5p from patches directory in the install media to the host.
  global># cp sol11_sparc/patches/VRTSpatches.p5p /tmp
3.Set the publisher for the global zone.
  global># pkg set-publisher -g /tmp/VRTSpatches.p5p Veritas
4.Make sure all the local zones are in running state.
5.Copy the bundled patch file VRTSpatches.p5p to a directory inside the zone’s root path for each zone.
  global># cp /tmp/VRTSpatches.p5p /zones/zone1/root/tmp
6.Set the publisher for the local zone with the path visible from the global zone.
  global># pkg -R /zones/zone1/root set-publisher –g /zones/zone1/root/tmp/VRTSpatches.p5p Veritas
7.Install the packages.
  For 6.0.3:
  global># pkg install --accept VRTSvcs VRTSvcsag VRTSvcsea
  For 6.0.5:
  global># pkg install --accept VRTSvlic VRTSvcs VRTSvcsag VRTSvcsea
 

8.Unset publishers from the global zone and all non-global zones.
  global># pkg unset-publisher Veritas
  global># pkg -R /zones/zone1/root unset-publisher Veritas
9.Run the script-based installer for SFHA 6.0.3 or 6.0.5 release.
