Error Message

 

This was due to the presence of the /var/sadm/pkg/.save.VRTSvxvm directory which also contained a pkginfo file.

Once the /var/sadm/pkg/.save.VRTSvxvm directory was moved to another location (eg /tmp), the 'pkginfo -l VRTSvxvm' command was then able to report the correct version. The .save.VRTSvxvm directory could then be safely deleted.

Following an upgrade from Storage Foundation 6.1.1 to Storage Foundation 6.2.1 on Solaris 10, pkginfo was still reporting 6.1.1 as the version. # pkginfo -l VRTSvxvm PKGINST: VRTSvxvm
