To support Oracle Solaris 11 Express release customers, any zone configured as an ipkg zone is converted to a solaris zone and reported as solaris upon pkg update or zoneadm attach to Oracle Solaris 11.2. The ipkg name will be mapped to the solaris name if used when configuring zones. Import of a zonecfg file exported from an Oracle Solaris 11 Express host will be supported.
The output of commands such as zonecfg info or zoneadm list –v displays a brand of solaris for default zones on an Oracle Solaris 11.2 system.
