Hi,

 

Does anybody know how i can install Storage Foundation 6.0PR1 in Solaris 11?

 

During my attempt to install the software via the installer script, there was an error:

CPI Error V-9-20-1273 Unable to contact configured publishers

 

I understand Solaris 11 is no longer using pkgadd to install new software. It is using Image Packaging System instead. How can i go about packaging the Storage Foundation 6.0 software?

Hi

Solaris 11 appears to set a default publisher (solaris). If the publisher is not accessible, then some of the pkg install commands will fail.

Is the publisher contactable from your system, or is it on a private network etc ?

"pkg publisher" should display the publishers

If not contactable, you may have to unset the publisher for the installation to succeed

cheers

Hi Tony,

 

Thanks for the suggestion. The server is on a private network and it has no access to where the default publisher is pointing to. The default publisher (solaris) is pointing to http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/.

 

Will unsetting the publisher break anything in the operating system?

 

Regards,

I had the same problem. I unset the package publisher with the command "pkg unset-publisher
solaris", re-ran the installer, and this time it installed successfully.

I guess the majority of installations will be on systems with no internet connectivity, so this is likely to affect many people. Perhaps a technote on this would help?

Regards, Alistair.
