Warnings about read-only filesystems while installing a Solaris package
I have two test machines having solaris 10. I have shared a location which have a package on machine1 and mounted that location onto machine2 as below.
Now, when i am trying to install that package which is in /tmp/test on machine2 by providing installation directory as /tmp/test, the following warning message is being displayed.
But at the last it is showing, instllation of pkg was successful. And that package is added to installed package list.
please tell me why these error messages are coming. and how can i abort my package installation by changing "request" script.

Are you trying to install the package in a zone?
What package are you trying to install?
Did you try to install it from a local filesystem not from nfs?
Maybe
can help to find what is the problem?
While installing the package it asks for "installation directory". If you provided any directory in local file system, there is no problem with the installation.
If you entered a directory which is a mount point of a shared location on another machine, it is giving that error.
Is it related to zones(using mount point as installation directory)? I have no idea about Solaris zones.

Hi GP81,
Thanks for your explanation by taking an example.
I have shared and mounted the directory as you done in the above. But still I am getting that error
please observe the below output.
I am unable to create a temporary file in that mount point. May be because of this, am i still getting that error?
I have small doubt regarding installation of <CSWcommon>.
you have installed CSWcommon on hostB by specifying the mountpoint /tmp/test as installation directory. But why CSWcommon was added to installed package list on hostA instead of hostB.
Could you please clarify me on this? I think, we are using that location for only storage of files like DVD or CD-ROM.
Hi vamshigvk475,
There is no "rwx" option for share command.

What is the output of
In my exampe I use 'pkginfo -R', so the path of packages install directory is redefined.
If I would uninstall package, I can use 'pkgrm -R' on both sides and it will work. As you can see, after installation there is 'var' directory in /hime1/pkg/test, which stores information about CSWcommon. When I use
the output is empty.
Hi,

I am also not able to find the package in the "HPUX Porting and Archive center".
