It is
collection of programs or files that provide certain functionality,
Along with

INFO ABOUT
PACKAGES
OK… First have some commands…
Remember
the word “pkg”
Got it…
Good… now u can add
Info -l / -x
Add -d
Rm -f (be alert when u have
to use –f with pkgrm…)
Chk -v / -lp
After the
word pkg with some flags
Let’s start with ADD Packages
#pkgadd –d <pkg
name>
Well… again –d …
But don’t worry this –d has nothing to do with patchadd –d
This –d mean that install the package from here, like I am at
/cdrom then I do not need to copy that pkg to some dir … just instruct
–d … that install this pkg from here
–d … that install this pkg from here
Well… There are 3 methods to install…
n DIRECT
INSTALL install it from
here
#pkgadd –d <pkg name>
#pkgadd –d <pkg name>
n SPOOLING spool the pkgs in /var/spool/pkg
dir Yes I will but how? Patience …
n TRANSFORM well I come to know that
I have 20 pkgs to Install in
my servers, now what I suppose to
do? Just transform it like OPTIMUS
PRIME … again How ? Patience …
OK… Let’s start with SPOOLING…
Actually what is it ? I have pkg cdrom and I want to copy all pkgs
to system
So that every time I do not have to dependent on cdrom…
Well… Just Spool all that to
/var/spool/pkg
I have Solaris s/w companion cd, and I want to spool them into
/var/spool/pkg
Well… actually I don’t do
this b’coz useless time wastage…
I just copied some pkgs in /mypkgs dir
I just copied some pkgs in /mypkgs dir
root@sol-test-2:>/#
pkgadd -d /mypkgs -s /var/spool/pkg
The following packages are available:

============o/p removed=================

Transferring <SFWyasr> package instance
Well… all 19 pkgs are spooled here…
NOTE -- [ Here pkgadd is telling that /mypkgs is source dir of
packages and –s told that well… hey
pkgadd u got pkgs now spool all these to following dir.]
[instead of /mypkgs we can use any source… wherever our packages
are]
We can do this via simply
root@sol-test-2:> cp
-r <pkg names > /var/spool/pkg/
Now … what to do after spooling?
Simple… just type pkgadd and enter
root@sol-test-2:>/#
pkgadd
see
just only cmd … it is spooling all pkgs from /var/spool/pkg
The following packages are available:

[Here instead of installing all packages I selected only
one, though if I just write all or enter then it will install all pkgs present
in its spool dir.]

well… if we know the pkg name then we can directly hit the pkgadd
with pkg name ( but it should be present in /var/spool/pkg)
root@sol-test-2:>/#
pkgadd SFWxcpus

Well…
Let’s see TRANSFORM

ls -l /tmp/imp-packages.pkg

67862528 Sep 16 16:58 /tmp/imp-packages.pkg
Well we had transformed 19 pkgs into one … now it can be used at
once…
Or it will be very helpful in sharing
root@sol-test-2:>/#
pkgadd -d /tmp/imp-packages.pkg
well it will install as usual… but u know the most imp thing ?
u have to do 19 times y + enter
every time it will ask
Do you want to continue with the installation of <PKG Name>
[y,n,?]
( I tried to find a yes for all at a time… but my search
continues…)
Anyways…
What if I don’t want to install pkgs in default dir ?
-R is the solution…
root@sol-test-2:>/mypkgs#
pkgadd -R /opt SFWsudo
Processing package instance <SFWsudo> from </var/spool/pkg>

Do you want to continue with the installation of <SFWsudo>
[y,n,?] y
This package contains scripts which will be executed with
super-user

Do you want to continue with the installation of <SFWsudo>
[y,n,?] y
Installing Sudo - superuser do as <SFWsudo>
=====o/p removed=====
Installation of <SFWsudo> was successful.
Let’s See what happened to /opt
cd /opt/var/sadm
root@sol-test-2:>/opt/var/sadm/pkg#
ls -l
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Sep 16 17:10 SFWsudo

NOW I WANT TO REMOVE THE PKG’s
Just
Pkgrm
-f
Some INFO about pkgs…
Pkginfo
-I / -p completely
or partially installed
-l detailed

Now… 10 recommended patches…
#chmod –R 777
10_x86_Recommended/
#cd 10_x86_Recommended/
#./installpatchset
–S10Patchset
OK… Now I want to know about the location of my all installed
pkgs…
Here u go …
root@sol-test-1:>/#
ls -l /var/sadm/install/contents
Good… Now where the logs are made for pkgs ?
root@sol-test-1:>/#
ls -l /var/sadm/install_data/
total 2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Apr 25 03:27 install_log ->

The Tutorial is over here….
Well… Now some examples of
pkgadd
root@sol-test-1:>/#
pkgadd -d /hgfs/vM_SHARE/x86/nmap-3.93-sol10-x86-local
The following packages are available:
1 SMCnmap

The selected base directory </usr/local> must exist before
installation is attempted.
Do you want this directory created now [y,n,?,q] y

Installation of <SMCnmap> was successful.
root@sol-test-1:>/#
pkginfo -x nmap
ERROR: information for "nmap" was not found
root@sol-test-1:>/#
pkginfo -l nmap
ERROR: information for "nmap" was not found
See… it is not recognizing simple “nmap” it wants the full pkg
name… so we need to find the exact name
root@sol-test-1:>/#
pkginfo |grep -i nmap
application SMCnmap nmap
root@sol-test-1:>/#
pkginfo -l SMCnmap [via –l we get all
info about pkg]

Let’s check that the status of this pkg
root@sol-test-1:>/#
pkgchk -p SMCnmap
WARNING: no information associated with pathname <SMCnmap>
Well it means that there is no info about partial install of this

We can see the install status via –l

/usr/local/share/nmap/nmap.dtd
/usr/local/share/nmap/nmap.xsl
So what –v is doing ?
Well… if I want to know about the installation path of our pkg
then we can easily find that from here…
Like when I have to run nmap… then we need to find out the dir
where it is installed… and
#/usr/local/bin/nmap
Fine… reached tooooo faaar…..
Now the most interesting part is coming ahead….
Have u ever heard
DEPENDENCY HELL !!!
If yes then u know what is about to go… and If not then
WELCOME TO THE
“ DEPENDENCY HELL “
U know when u fire nmap
what will happen ?
(this is not only the case of nmap…. U can feel the heat after
installing any 3rd party software)
root@sol-test-1:>/#
/usr/local/bin/nmap
ld.so.1: nmap: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.7: open failed: No such file
or directory
Killed
Now it wants libssl.so.0.9.7
And I am sure that after this libssl it will want some more and
then some else then some else …….
That is called dependency hell….
Solaris 10 got distinction in this field….
Solaris 11 comes with the solution IPS…
Linux has understand that too early and came with YUM
REPOSITORY…(its awesome)
****well… if u really want to feel the heat and want to sweat from
each and every side … just try to install “cacti” on your Solaris system…****
