Oracle Solaris 11.3 Systems that are Not Ready to Upgrade to Oracle Solaris 11.4

If these systems have been using an IPS package repository at an Oracle URL, create a local Oracle Solaris 11.3 package repository as described in Creating Package Repositories in Oracle Solaris 11.4.

  • Create the repository from Oracle Solaris 11.3 repository archive files for the latest public release and all subsequent SRUs. The repository must contain all packages that are installed on any Oracle Solaris 11.3 systems that will use the repository. Do not try to create an Oracle Solaris 11.3 package repository from a subset of an Oracle Solaris 11.4 package repository.

  • Maintain the repository by adding new Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRUs from SRU repository archive files. Do not maintain this repository by using the pkg/mirror service with an Oracle URL as the source.

  • Reset the solaris publisher on these Oracle Solaris 11.3 systems so that this new local Oracle Solaris 11.3 repository location is the only origin.
