Adding a Package Installed in the Global Zone to all Non-Global Zones

To add a package that is already installed in the global zone to all non-global zones, you must currently remove the package from the global zone and reinstall it in all zones.

These are the steps used to add a package that is already installed in the global zone to all of the non-global zones:

  1. In the global zone, use pkgrm to remove the package.

  2. Add the package without using the -G option.
