Workaround—Remove file /tmp/AdDrEm.lck file from the miniroot before adding the

CPQary3 driver package, or any other driver package.

1.

Unpack the PXE miniroot to some temporary location such as /var/tmp/mr
# /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive unpack <SUN Solaris 10

5/09_PXE_image_path>/boot/x86.miniroot /var/tmp/mr

2.

Remove /tmp/AdDrEm.lck from the PXE miniroot

# rm /var/tmp/mr/tmp/AdDrEm.lck

3.

Add the CPQary3 driver package

# pkgadd -d CPQary3.pkg -R /var/tmp/mr

NOTE:

Ignore any of the following warnings:

WARNING: The package "Core Architecture, (Root)" is a prerequisite package and

should be installed.

WARNING: The package "Core Architecture, (Kvm)" is a prerequisite package and

should be installed.

WARNING: The package "Core Solaris, (Root)" is a prerequisite package and should

be installed.

WARNING: The package "Core Solaris, (Usr)" is a prerequisite package and should

be installed.

WARNING: The package "Core Solaris Devices" is a prerequisite package and

5/09_PXE_image_path>/boot/x86.miniroot /var/tmp/mr

Basic troubleshooting techniques

The following basic tools and techniques are useful for investigating issues with Solaris deployment.

Shell prompt

An interactive shell is the primary tool for troubleshooting deployment issues that occur after the
miniroot has booted. In some cases, early failures cause the console to automatically display a shell
prompt. Otherwise, a shell can usually be started when necessary.
If X Windows is running, a terminal window can be opened by right-clicking on the background, and
then selecting the appropriate item from the menu. If the character mode installer is running, proceed

through the prompts until an option to exit appears. Exiting drops the console to a shell prompt.

Network verification

Problems with network deployments can often be traced to errors in network configuration or
typographical errors in network paths. The Solaris miniroot contains a variety of tools and utilities that
can be used to diagnose such problems.
