Q1) did a pkginfo check and found that the Solaris Management Console
and Applications package was inside Solaris 10 installation CD 5 and
installed the package from there using pkgadd directly and is now
working fine. The CD 5 might be corrupted or damaged so did not
installed properly keep getting the following message
Warning : /pci@0,0/pci-ide@if.1/ide@1/sd@ 0,0 (sd0)
Error for command: read (10)
