Summary of Java ES Installer Behavior Regarding Shared Components

The behaviors described above are summarized in the following table, which shows how the Java ES installer's treatment of shared components depends on the zone context as well as what has been selected in the component selection page.

Table A–1 Installer Behavior Regarding Shared Components


Zones Context	Product Component Selected	All Shared Components Selected
Non-zone operating System	Upgrade all shared components currently installed Install any missing shared components required by the selected product component	Upgrade all shared components currently installed Install any missing shared components, whether or not they are needed by any specific product component
Global zone: no non-global zones	Upgrade all shared components currently installed Install any missing shared components required by the selected product component	Upgrade all shared components currently installed Install any missing shared components, whether or not they are needed by any specific product component
Global zone: non-global zones exist	Upgrade all shared components currently installed Install any missing shared components, whether or not they are needed by any specific product component	Upgrade all shared components currently installed Install any missing shared components, whether or not they are needed by any specific product component
Whole root zone	Upgrade all shared components currently installed Install any missing shared components required by the selected product component	Upgrade all shared components currently installed Install any missing shared components, whether or not they are needed by any specific product component
Sparse root zone	Cannot upgrade or install some shared components in read-only directories. If installer encounters such shared components, it blocks and instructs user to manage shared components in the global zone.	Cannot upgrade or install some shared components in read-only directories. Installer therefore blocks and instructs user to manage shared components in the global zone.
