Have you tried removing it from the non-globals first then from the global?

Yes. Stopped services on both, deleted lock files from both, tried removing it from non-global zone first, but no luck.
This is production box, so I want to try all possible things before going with downtime for reboot.

in that case, do ...
Code:
cd /var/sadm/pkg
ls -d stubborn_pkg
rm -rf stubborn_pkg

if unsure of the process, rename the stubborn_pkg directory to something else and recheck with pkginfo -l stubborn_pkg to confirm that the process works ...

It did not helped. It is still looking for some instance
Code:
root@pqdb_s50:# mv /var/sadm/pkg/ILMT-TAD4D-agent /var/sadm/pkg/ILMT-TAD4D-agent.old
root@pqdb_s50:# pkgrm ILMT-TAD4D-agent
pkgrm: ERROR: no package associated with <ILMT-TAD4D-agent>
root@pqdb_s50:# pkgadd -d ILMT-TAD4D-agent-7.5.0.111-solaris-sparc64
The following packages are available:
  1  ILMT-TAD4D-agent     ILMT-TAD4D-agent
                          (sparc64) 7.5.0.111
Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:
## Waiting for up to <300> seconds for package administration commands to become available (another user is administering packages)

run kill -9 $(ps -ef | grep pkgadd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}') prior to running pkgadd as well as remove any lockfiles ...

check for any other pkg processes and then retry pkgadd again if none found ...

There is no pkg process alive, I checked with "ps -ef". But I can see a lock file in /tmp
Code:
.ai.pkg.zone.lock-afdb66cf-1dd1-11b2-a049-000d560ddc3e

I remove it and then try pkgrm. It again fails and when I checked /tmp, a new lock file gets created.

run truss on the pkgadd (see code below) in a different window to see if there is anything there that can give you a hint on what is going on ...
Code:
truss -p $(ps -ef | grep pkgadd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')

if still nothing, you may have to actually reboot both the non-global zone and then the host before you retry the pkgadd again ...

if still nothing, then i would suggest giving oracle support a call as your issue may be os-related ...
