Oracle recommends the use of a local repository for deployment and patching of your systems. In all cases you will need the General Available (GA) release, together with the SRUs.<\/p>\n

First, create a ZFS filesystem to hold the repository:<\/p>\n

zfs create data\/solaris-repository<\/pre>\n
Then extract the GA repository which you downloaded from Oracle.com using:<\/p>\n
unzip -q V78247-01.zip\r\nksh .\/install-repo.ksh -d \/data\/solaris-repository\r\nUsing V78246-01 files for sol-11_3-repo download.\r\nUncompressing V78246-01_1of5.zip...done.\r\nUncompressing V78246-01_2of5.zip...done.\r\nUncompressing V78246-01_3of5.zip...done.\r\nUncompressing V78246-01_4of5.zip...done.\r\nUncompressing V78246-01_5of5.zip...done.\r\nRepository can be found in \/data\/solaris-repository.<\/pre>\n
Followed by:<\/p>\n
pkgrepo create -s \/data\/solaris-repository\r\npkgrecv -s https:\/\/pkg.oracle.com\/solaris\/support -d \/data\/solaris-repository --key \/path\/to\/key-file --cert \/path\/to\/certificate -m latest '*'<\/pre>\n
While the above process runs, download the SRUs from Oracle.com and after the pkgrecv process completes apply the downloaded SRUs using:<\/p>\n
unzip -oq repo-file.zip -d \/data\/solaris-repository<\/pre>\n
The next step is to rebuild the repository:<\/p>\n
pkgrepo rebuild -s \/data\/solaris-repository<\/pre>\n
Now you can verify which SRUs are available in your local repository:<\/p>\n
pkgrepo list -s \/data\/solaris-repository entire\r\nPUBLISHER NAME                                          O VERSION\r\nsolaris   entire                                          0.5.11,5.11-0.175.3.4.0.5.0:20160114T213235Z\r\nsolaris   entire                                          0.5.11,5.11-0.175.3.3.0.6.0:20151213T201320Z\r\nsolaris   entire                                          0.5.11,5.11-0.175.3.2.0.4.0:20151103T235040Z\r\nsolaris   entire                                          0.5.11,5.11-0.175.3.1.0.5.0:20151006T140051Z<\/pre>\n
If you do not have the intermediate SRUs – which are incremental updates – necessary to update your client you might receive the following error when you run ‘pkg update -nv’:<\/p>\n
Reject: pkg:\/\/solaris\/entire@0.5.11-0.175.3.4.0.5.0\r\nReason: No version for 'incorporate' dependency on consolidation\/java-7\/java-7-incorporation@1.7.0.91.15,5.11-0 can be found<\/pre>\n
