SOLARIS 11 IPS README FILE

Oracle SolarisTM 11 11/11 Release Repository Image
images available in


1)Single image case
#lofiadm -a <full_path_to>/sol-11-1111-repo-full.iso /dev/lofi/1
#mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
#rsync -aP /mnt/repo <destination>
   
2)Using a USB Flash Device
    #rmformat -l
    #rmmount
    #dd if=sol-11-1111-repo-full.iso of=<device name> ibs=32K obs=32K
    #rmformat -b '<label>' <device name>
  
3)Using DVD Media
    To record the image to the media, simply insert the blank media, and
    execute the following command:
        cdrecord sol-11-1111-repo-full.iso
4)Multiple ISO case
   
        lofiadm -a <full_path_to>/sol-11-1111-repo-p01.iso /dev/lofi/1
        mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
        rsync -aP /mnt/repo <destination>
        umount /mnt
        lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1

        lofiadm -a <full_path_to>/sol-11-1111-repo-p02.iso /dev/lofi/1
        mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
        rsync -aP /mnt/repo <destination>
        umount /mnt
        lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1
note:- Be aware that a trailing slash on /mnt/repo above (e.g. '/mnt/repo/')
     would copy the contents of the directory instead of the directory
     itself which will not provide the expected results.  In addition, the
     <destination> must be the same for both rsync invocations.

 Using the repository data
   
        svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop \
            pkg/inst_root=<data_source>/repo
        svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/readonly=true
    By default, pkg.depotd(1M) will listen for connections on port 80.  You
    can change this by executing the following command:
        svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/port=<port_number>
        svcadm refresh application/pkg/server
        svcadm enable application/pkg/server
        pkg set-publisher -G '*' -g <origin> solaris
