Error description

  • When installong Clearquest 9.0.1.5 on Solaris 11.4, during the
    installation (after clicking the "install" button in IM) it runs
    for awhile like it going to install OK, but then errors out with
    gsk8cry32 error.
    
    This is the error from the Installation Manager log:
    
    <message>Action GskitAction (install /opt/IBM/RationalSDLC)
    failed: java.io.IOException: Exit status 1 from command: pkgadd
    -G -a ./admin -n -d . gsk8cry32
    stderr: pkgadd: ERROR: The package &lt;gsk8cry32&gt; 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 &lt;gsk8cry32&gt; cannot be installed on
    this system/zone

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * An option used during install of the GSKit on Solaris zones  *
    * was depreciated in Solaris 11. This would cause the GSKit    *
    * installation to fail and subsequently the ClearCase or       *
    * ClearQuest install would also fail.                          *
