Oracle Solaris 11.3 Systems that are Upgrading to Oracle Solaris 11.4

Systems that are using an IPS package repository at an Oracle URL will be upgraded to Oracle Solaris 11.4 if no constraint is applied such as a constraint package as described in Using an Oracle Solaris Constraint Package.

For systems that are using a local repository that is shared by systems that are not ready to upgrade to Oracle Solaris 11.4, use one of the following options:

  • Change the solaris publisher origin to an Oracle Solaris repository URL.

  • Create a new local Oracle Solaris 11.4 package repository as described in Creating Package Repositories in Oracle Solaris 11.4. Reset the solaris publisher on these systems to add an origin for this new local Oracle Solaris 11.4 repository to the existing origin for the local Oracle Solaris 11.3 repository.
