what is global zone mean?

I have reinstalled JES message 2005Q4, and try to apply T118207-58 patch, got error:

# more /var/sadm/patch/118207-58/log

pkgadd: ERROR: The package <SUNWmsgco> is currently installed on the system in the global zone. To install the new instance of this package in the global

zone only, you must specify the -G option. To install the new instance

of this package in all zones you must first remove the existing instance

of this package from the global zone first (via pkgrm) and then install

the new instance of this package in all zones.

pkgadd: ERROR: package <SUNWmsgco> cannot be installed on this system/zone

Hi,

Global zone is a Solaris 10 term - it's an OS virtualisation technique. You can read up about Solaris zones at the following location:

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/zones/

You need to use the -G option as noted to get the patch to apply.

Regards,

Shane.
