Updates to Oracle Solaris 11 are provisioned using package updates called Support Repository Updates (SRUs) instead of patches. SRUs are part of a new OS provisioning scheme called the Image Packaging System (IPS).
To determine the package version of the Oracle Solaris 11 OS installed on your system, use the pkg info kernel command and interpret the FMRI value displayed in the output. This is an example:
# pkg info kernel Name: system/kernel Summary: Core Kernel Description: Core operating system kernel, device drivers and other modules. Category: System/Core State: Installed Publisher: solaris Version: 0.5.11 Build Release: 5.11 Branch: 0.175.0.2.0.2.1 Packaging Date: Wed Oct 19 07:57:11 2011 Size: 17.99 MB FMRI: pkg://solaris/system/kernel@0.5.11,5.11-0.175.0.2.0.2.1: 20111128T20503
Evaluate the following three fields in the FMRI value:
175 – The value 175 indicates that the system has Oracle Solaris 11 OS installed. This value is a constant for Oracle Solaris 11.
0 – The first field to the right of 175 indicates the update release. In this example, there have been no updates to the initial release.
2 – The next field contains the SRU value. In this example, the second patch bundle (called SRU2) has been installed on Oracle Solaris 11, update 0.
You can ignore the other fields in the FMRI package description.
When you know which version of the OS is installed, you can access a list of all the packages contained in that release from the following web page: http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/en/index.shtml
To list the packages contained in a particular Oracle Solaris 11 release, select that release in the Release and Branch pull-down menu and press the Browse button. Or you can search for individual packages in the Search for: window.
