Oracle Solaris 11 introduced the Image Packaging System (IPS) for software installs and updates. IPS changes the way Unified Communications Suite delivers patches, because IPS does not support the patchadd command. On Solaris 11 systems, you must use Automated Release Update (ARU) patches. These patches differ from the older SRV4 Sun-style patches, which are not supported on Solaris 11. You can use ARU patches on other Solaris releases as well. To install a ARU patch, you use the commpkg upgrade command.
