How to add, remove, check packages and patches in Solaris

In this post we will show you, how we can manage the packages and patches, and what are the command that we will use in order to install or remove them

pkgadd: add a package or packages


#pkgadd -d . LGTOclnt
Processing package instance <LGTOclnt> from </solaris_64>
NetWorker Client(sparc) 7.6.5.0.Build.1160
Copyright (c) 1990-2012, EMC Corporation
This product includes software developed by the University of
California, Berkeley and its contributors.

To setup NetWorker you need to specify a directory to store various
data files in. For a NetWorker client or storage node the default
directory of /var/nsr is acceptable. However, for a NetWorker server,
this directory can become quite large and should reside on a big enough
file system.
Below is a list of file systems which you might consider:
File system              Free space in KB
/oracleASM                        8169757
/oracle_instalador                1368098

How to Reset the Root Password of RHEL-7 / systemd

1) Boot your system and wait until the GRUB2 menu appears. 2) In the boot loader menu, highlight any entry and press e . 3) Find the line beginning with linux. At the end of this line, append the following: init=/bin/sh Or if you face a panic, instead of "ro" change to "rw" to sysroot as example below: rw init=/sysroot/bin/sh 4) Press F10 or Ctrl+X to boot the system using the options you just edited. Once the system boots, you will be presented with a shell prompt without having to enter any user name or password: sh-4.2# 5) Load the installed SELinux policy: sh-4.2# /usr/sbin/load_policy -i 6) Execute the following command to remount your root partition: sh4.2# mount -o remount,rw / 7) Reset the root password: Raw sh4.2# passwd root 9) Reboot the system. From now on, you will be able to log in as the root user using the new password set up during this procedure.
