Description

This articles describes how to manually uninstall & install Veritas Solaris packages for VRTSvcs, VRTSvcsag & VRTSodm in the Solaris Global Zones.

The Solaris 11.4 environments consists of 4 x Solaris Local Zones in a "running" state:

# zoneadm list -civ
ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP 0 global running / solaris shared 1 zone1 running /zones/zone1 solaris excl 2 zone2 running /zones/zone2 solaris excl 3 zone3 running /zones/zone3 solaris excl 4 zone4 running /zones/zone4 solaris excl

The Veritas Solaris packages for VRTSvcs, VRTSvcsag & VRTSodm have already been removed from the Solaris Local Zones.

See related article: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100053795 for steps.

Solaris Global Zone

The following steps can be used to manually uninstall the Veritas Solaris packages for VRTSvcs, VRTSvcsag & VRTSodm from the Solaris Global Zone.

1.] Force stop the Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) service on the local node:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/hastop -local -force

2.] List the Veritas package versions in the Solaris Global Zone:

# pkg list VRTS*
NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO VRTSamf (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSaslapm (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTScavf (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTScps (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSdbac (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSdbed (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSfsadv (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSgab (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSglm (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSgms (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSllt (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSodm (Veritas) 7.4.2.2500 i-- VRTSperl (Veritas) 5.30.0.0 i-- VRTSsfcpi (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSsfmh (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSspt (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvbs (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvcs (Veritas) 7.4.2.1200 i-- VRTSvcsag (Veritas) 7.4.2.1200 i-- VRTSvcsea (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvlic (Veritas) 4.1.74.4 i-- VRTSvxfen (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvxfs (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvxvm (Veritas) 7.4.2.0 i--

3.] In this instance, the base InfoScale 7.4.2 software "VRTSpkgs.p5p" file has been downloaded to directory /742.

# cd /742

# ls -al
total 1015547 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3 Aug 18 15:13 . drwxr-xr-x 39 root sys 51 Aug 18 18:22 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 519516160 Aug 18 15:13 VRTSpkgs.p5p

NOTE: Download the required Veritas InfoScale version to install other Veritas product versions.

4.] Unset the Veritas publisher

# pkg unset-publisher Veritas
Updating package cache 1/1

5.] Define Veritas publisher to point to "VRTSpkgs.p5p" file located in directory /742:

# date;pkg set-publisher -p /742/VRTSpkgs.p5p Veritas
Friday, August 19, 2022 at 12:23:37 PM IST
pkg set-publisher:
Added publisher(s): Veritas

6.] Confirm the Veritas publisher is defined as shown below:

# pkg publisher

Solaris Local Zone Steps:

The following steps can be performed to install the specified Veritas packages inside the "running" Solaris Local Zones.

1.] Confirm the required Solaris Local Zones are in a "running" state:

# zoneadm list -s
NAME STATUS AUXILIARY STATE global running zone1 running zone2 running zone3 running zone4 running

2.] Install the same 3 x Veritas packages (VRTSvcs, VRTSvcsag & VRTSodm) in the "running" Solaris Local Zones:

# for zone in `zoneadm list -s | egrep -v 'global|^NAME' | awk '{ print $1 }'`; do echo "ZONE: $zone" ; zlogin $zone "pkg install --accept VRTSodm VRTSvcs VRTSvcsag" ; done

NOTE: Output not shown as it is can be verbose.

3.] Confirm the 3 x Veritas packages (VRTSvcs, VRTSvcsag & VRTSodm) are now installed in the "running" Solaris Local Zones:

# for zone in `zoneadm list -s | egrep -v 'global|^NAME' | awk '{ print $1 }'`; do echo "ZONE: $zone" ; zlogin $zone "pkg list VRTS*" ; done
ZONE: zone1 NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO VRTSodm 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSperl 5.30.0.0 i-- VRTSvcs 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvcsag 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvlic 4.1.74.4 i-- ZONE: zone2 NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO VRTSodm 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSperl 5.30.0.0 i-- VRTSvcs 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvcsag 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvcsea 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvlic 4.1.74.4 i-- VRTSvxfs 7.4.2.0 i-- ZONE: zone3 NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO VRTSodm 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSperl 5.30.0.0 i-- VRTSvcs 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvcsag 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvcsea 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvlic 4.1.74.4 i-- VRTSvxfs 7.4.2.0 i-- ZONE: zone4 NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO VRTSodm 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSperl 5.30.0.0 i-- VRTSvcs 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvcsag 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvcsea 7.4.2.0 i-- VRTSvlic 4.1.74.4 i-- VRTSvxfs 7.4.2.0 i--
