OS Version: Solaris
Symptoms:
When upgrading on Solaris, you get the message:
"Current administration requires that a unique instance of the package be created. However, the maximum number of instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the same system has already been met.
No changes were made to the system.
In the file /var/sadm/install/admin/default
there is a line that affects pkgadd upgrade
If "instance=unique"
You cannot upgrade , you have to remove and then re-add a package
if "instance=overwrite"
You can upgrade , you don't have to remove and then re-add a package
(so just use vi, or similar, to edit the file and you will be able to upgrade NetVault)
Note: On some systems, the default file MAY be in a different place or may be flagged read only.
You can search for it with:
find / -name default -print
but make certain it is the right one that you have found! (i.e. edit the existing instance=overwrite entry, DO NOT just add a new instance=unique entry to the wrong default file!)
