General Solaris 10 Discussion - Install a package from Solaris 10 cd
[289 byte] By [pn8830a] at [2007-11-26 23:30:36] 
Hello,I accidentaly removed a package (namely SUNWgcc) from the system. I have the Solaris 10 CDs. Is it possible to install this package for the CD? I check the CD and it looks like SUNWgcc on it is not a package that I can install with pkgadd -d.Thank You,PN.

Mount the install CD or DVD with the package you wish to install. Then cd into the Solaris_10/Product directory. Once there issue this command:
pkgadd -d . SUNWgcc
(note the period following -d is NOT a typo it indicates that pkgadd should look in the current directory for the package SUNWgcc).
Hope that helps.

Hi,
i am trying to install SUNWi1cs and when i do as you told, i face the following error message. (My current directory is "Product" from the Solaris CD)
pkgadd: ERROR attempt to process datastream failed
- open of <.SUNWi1cs> filed, errno=2
pkgadd: ERROR could not process datastream from <SUNWi1cs>
How to install the package, please help me

That command should work. Verify that the filesystem isn't corrupt and that there is something in the directory SUNWi1cs/bosconeta at 2007-7-10 14:41:50 >

- open of <.SUNWi1cs> filed, errno=2
Note the error message.
The poster did not put a space between the directory and the package to be installed.
In the example the containing directory (given after the -d flag) is ".", while the Package name is "SUNWi1cs". There needs to be a space between the arguments.

This does not seem to work from the Solaris 10 CD 1 - the CD directory structure is different.
Specifically I am trying to install SUNWmfrun which is in the /cdrom/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg directory. However this directory doesn't have a pkgmap file in it so running the pkgadd command fails.
Further investigation shows another directory, /cdrom/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWmfrun/save/pspool/SUNWmfrun which does have that file, but running pkgadd against that directory fails completely.
How can I use pkgadd to add packages from the first CD in the Solaris 10 installation?

Don't go there.
Stay in the Product directories on the CDs. You'll find the package there.
However this directory doesn't have a pkgmap file in
it so running the pkgadd command fails.
No, that's not a package. /var/sadm/pkg contains information about the package database, so some of the files and directories there have the same name as packages (but they're not packages).
Further investigation shows another directory,
/cdrom/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWmfrun/save/pspool/SUN
Wmfrun which does have that file, but running pkgadd
against that directory fails completely.
Still not a package.
How can I use pkgadd to add packages from the first
CD in the Solaris 10 installation?
The packages are in the 'Product' directory.
Your paths seem odd. You have a normally booted host and you're just inserting the CD? What are the contents of /cdrom?

You'll need to unzip them.
Once you have the .iso file, you can either burn them directly to a CD with a cdwriter, or you can mount them using lofiadm.
lofiadm -a /path/to/iso
mount -r -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mount/point (or whatever the lofi path is).
When done, umount and 'lofiadm -d' to disconnect the file.
