Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Guide for UNIX

Special Situation: Installing Shared Components in a Whole Root Zone

Installation of shared components in a whole root zone can be blocked if specific versions of Sun Java Web Console are already installed in the zone. This, in turn, can block installation of product components in the whole root zone.


Note –

This situation is addressed in Bug 6451030 in the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Release Notes for UNIX.


Some earlier versions of the Sun Java Web Console packages contain an incorrect attribute setting that prevents Sun Java Web Console from being upgraded in whole root zones. The Sun Java Web Console packages that contain the incorrect attribute setting were shipped with Solaris 10, Solaris 10 Update 1 (1/06), Solaris 10 Update 2 (6/06), and Java ES 4 (2005Q4). The packages are correct in Solaris 10 Update 3 (11/06) and Java ES 5. To determine if your host contains the defective packages, run the following command in the global zone:

pkgparam -v SUNWmcon SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES

If you receive the following response, your host contains the defective packages:

SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES='true'

If you want to install Java ES 5 in a whole root zone, you will first need to upgrade the Sun Java Web Console packages in the global zone. You have the following options:

After you apply one of these options, you can install Java ES 5 components in a whole root zone.
