If you attempt to install CAM 6.4.0 or earlier into an OpenSolaris zone you'll find that the installer will exit with the following error
In a non-global zone. You must manually install the following patches in the global zone first:
119043-09
126539-01
What's going on here is that the version of the Sun Web Console that is bundled with CAM (version 3.0.5) requires these patches on Solaris 10 x86. The CAM installer logic assumes that a zone capable host is a Solaris 10 host (this assumption will be removed in the future) and since these patches can only be applied in the global zone it insists that they be applied before installing CAM.
To get around this you can modify line 170 in the RunMe.bin script. That line reads
found=0
If changed to
found=1
you can then install CAM into a zone. As mentioned before in this post, it is only possible to get Sun Web Console 3.0.2 on OpenSolaris.
Additional Information that might be necessary:
There are two entries in RunMe.bin with found=0
Change Line: 20/340 from found=0 to found=1
And
Change Line: 170 as mentioned above to found=1
If you are in a whole root zone: you'll miss pkgcmds
Install them with pkg install SUNWpkgcmds
And all will install fine....
Best regards ....
