Hard Drives not seen after CPQary3 added to Miniroot

•
OS Releases affected—Solaris 10 5/09
•
Description—"Add_drv/Rem_drv Currently Busy; Try Later" message displayed
when modifying the miniroot to add drivers to Solaris 10 5/09. Alternately, disks attached to
the Smart Array Controller are not available during installation after Smart Array Controller
Driver is added to the miniroot. When modifying the miniroot to add drivers to perform a PXE
installation of Solaris 10 5/09, the post install script in the package calls add_drv to install the
driver. The add_drv fails and displays the following message:
add_drv/rem_drv currently busy; try later
This occurs due to the presence of the /tmp/AdDrEm.lck file in the miniroot that prevents the
driver package from being installed successfully to the miniroot .
