Installing the CPU Package

Your Oracle Solaris 11.4 systems might not have the solaris-11-cpu package installed by default, because this package is higher in the dependency hierarchy than the entire package. You must update to an SRU that includes the solaris-11-cpu package, install the package, then update it. 

# pkg install recent-solaris-11-release
# pkg install solaris-11-cpu
# pkg install solaris-11-cpu@latest

After solaris-11-cpu@latest is installed, the system is updated to the SRU version of the CPU. The updating includes all package updates between the SRU of the system and the SRU version of the CPU. For more information and examples, see Applying Support Updates in Updating Systems and Adding Software in Oracle Solaris 11.4 and Critical Patch Update Packages in Updating Systems and Adding Software in Oracle Solaris 11.4.
