Removing a Package From the Global Zone and From all Non-Global Zones

To remove a package from the global zone and from all non-global zones, execute the pkgrm utility in the global zone. As the global administrator, run pkgrm without the -G option.

A package can be removed from the global zone and from all non-global zones without regard to the area affected by the package.

The following steps are performed by the pkgrm utility:

• Package dependencies are checked on the global zone and on all non-global zones. If the dependency check fails, then pkgrm fails. The system notifies the global administrator, who is prompted whether to continue.

• The package is removed from each non-global zone.

• The package database on each non-global zone is updated.

• The package is removed from the global zone.

• The package database on the global zone is updated.
