The Veritas publisher is not defined for all required patch locations and related p5p files. 

 

In this instance, the customer was trying to install the base InfoScale 7.4.1 release along with InfoScale 7.4.1.x patches for Solaris.

The user must define all related Veritas publisher locations in the Solaris Global Zone for the base InfoScale 7.4.1 release and for all corresponding 7.4.1.x patches.

Global Zone:

InfoScale 7.4.1
 

# pkg set-publisher -p /var/tmp/dvd1-sol_sparc/sol11_sparc/pkgs/VRTSpkgs.p5p Veritas

InfoScale 7.4.1 patches:

# pkg set-publisher -g /741-1100/patches/VRTSvcs.p5p Veritas

Repeat the above publisher syntax to point to all the required p5p patches
 

Use the zlogin command to install the InfoScale 7.4.1 software and related Veritas packages inside the Solaris Local Zone.

#  zlogin "pkg install --accept --no-backup-be VRTSperl VRTSvlic VRTSvxfs VRTSvcs VRTSvcsag VRTSvcsea"

After the installation completes, verify that the package is installed correctly:

#  zlogin "pkg list VRTS*"

Process complete.
