Resolving Installation Problems

Checking the OS release fails. 

You might not have the SunOS 5.6 SPARC, SunOS 5.7 SPARC, or SunOS 5.8 SPARC release of the operating system installed. 

Type uname -psr to find out which release of the operating system you are running.

System reports that there is not enough space on the file systems to install a package. 

Make enough space available on the relevant file systems. Restart the installation. 

Failure occurred when trying to execute one of the package installation scripts. 

Installer was unable to access the file as user nobody. The permissions to all files and directories in the package must allow world read (and execute, where applicable) access. The directories leading from the location where the package is stored up to the root (/) directory must also be world accessible.

An unexpected or internal error occurred in one of the package installation scripts. 

Report the problem to your Sun Software Support Provider. 

System reported that the package already exists, so an update will occur. 

The package is already installed on the system. If you continue, the software will bring the current installation back in line with the package. WARNING: Any files that have been modified since the previous installation will be lost during this process. 

Installer quits while installing SUNWsrmr.

One of the user names srmidle, srmlost, or srmother may have already been used in the passwd file. You must either delete the entry or change the user name as described in Step 9 for Solaris Resource Manager to install and work.

Installer quits with the message that a patch is not installed.

The patch 105181-11 (or greater), which contains the kernel enhancements necessary to enable Solaris Resource Manager in the Solaris 2.6 environment, is required prior to installing the product on a Solaris 2.6 system. The patch 106123-04 (or greater) is required prior to installing the man page package SUNWsrmm on a Solaris 2.6 system.
