# cfgadm -c unconfigure pcisch1:e00b1slot0
cfgadm: Component system is busy, try again

Cause

Missing patch; install patch 116669-15 or newer to fix the issue.

Note: Solaris 9 is now EOL, please consider upgrading to a current Solaris release. Please check Oracle Lifetime Support Policy Documentation here for further references.

Solution

Resolution
Install Solaris 9 patch 116669-15 or newer (most recent release is Patch 116669-40: SunOS 5.9: md patch).

Relief/Workaround
Use the rcfgadm -c unconfigure PCI Slot instead of the cfgadm.

Doing rcfgadm on the same slot runs succefully.

It is seen that once rcfgadm command completes successfully, cfgadm command from domain on the same slot starts working.
