Solaris 10 5/09 Release Notes

SPARC: smosservice delete Command Does Not Successfully Remove All Directories (6192105)

If you use the smosservice delete command to remove a diskless client service, the command does not successfully remove all the service directories.

Workaround: Follow these steps.

  1. Make sure that no clients exist that use the service.


    # unshare /export/exec/Solaris_10_sparc.all
    # rm -rf /export/exec/Solaris_10_sparc.all
    # rm -rf /export/exec/.copyofSolaris_10_sparc.all
    # rm -rf /export/.copyofSolaris_10
    # rm -rf /export/Solaris_10
    # rm -rf /export/share
    # rm -rf /export/root/templates/Solaris_10
    # rm -rf /export/root/clone/Solaris_10
    # rm -rf /tftpboot/inetboot.sun4u.Solaris_10
  2. Remove the following entry from the /etc/bootparams file.


    fs1-24 boottype=:os

    Note –

    Remove this entry only if this file server does not provide functions or resources for any other services.


  3. Remove the following entry from the /etc/dfs/dfstab file.


    share -F nfs -o ro /export/exec/Solaris_8_sparc.all/usr
  4. Modify the /var/sadm/system/admin/services/Solaris_10 file.

    • If the file server is not Solaris_10, delete the file.

    • If the file server is Solaris_10, remove all entries after the first three lines. The deleted lines indicate the service USR_PATH and SPOOLED ROOT packages in /export/root/templates/Solaris_10 and the supported platforms.
