You need to keep the following items in mind when you install or upgrade VCS in a zone environment on an Oracle Solaris 10 operating system.

• When you install or upgrade Veritas InfoScale using the installer program, all zones are upgraded (both global and non-global) unless they are detached and unmounted.

• Make sure that all non-global zones are booted and in the running state before you install or upgrade the Veritas InfoScale packages in the global zone. If the non-global zones are not mounted and running at the time of upgrade, you must attach the zone with -U option to install or upgrade the Veritas InfoScale packages inside the non-globle zone.

• If you install Veritas InfoScale on Solaris 10 systems that run non-global zones, you need to make sure that non-global zones do not inherit the /opt directory. Run the following command to make sure that the /opt directory is not in the inherit-pkg-dir clause:

  # zonecfg -z zone_name info
  zonepath: /export/home/zone1
  autoboot: false
  pool: yourpool
  inherit-pkg-dir:
  dir: /lib
  inherit-pkg-dir:
  dir: /platform
  inherit-pkg-dir:
  dir: /sbin
  inherit-pkg-dir:
  dir: /usr

  If the /opt directory appears in the output, remove the /opt directory from the zone's configuration and reinstall the zone.
