Local repository
BY AN IS HAX on JAN U ARY 1 4, 201 9 • ( 1 )
Introduction
Solaris 11 IPS repository is manadatory for an Organization to keep the Solaris 11
X86 and Sparc servers updated with latest OS patches.
Setting up the repository has two parts:
1. Build the base repo
2. Apply the incremental patchsets
Prerequisites
Create a ZFS file system /repo with suffcient space to host the repository
root@titan:~# zpool list
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
rpool 63.5G 11.2G 52.3G 17% 1.00x ONLINE -
root@titan:~# zfs create -o mountpoint=/repo -o quota=25G rpool/repo
root@titan:~# df -h /repo
Filesystem Size Used Available Capacity Mounted on
rpool/repo 25G 31K 25G 1% /repo
Download the base repositiry files
Next step is to download the repository files and setup the base repo. And then
apply the incremental updates as and when it released.
You can download the base repo files from below link:
[Link]
storage/solaris11/downloads/[Link]
You need to download below files.
Copy the files to one of the
Solaris11 X86 or Sparc server
where you wanted to configure the
repo.
Normally i would create a
/var/repository/s11u4 and winscp
the files in to it
root@titan:~# uname -a
SunOS titan 5.11 [Link].0 i86pc i386 i86pc
root@titan:~#
root@titan:~# mkdir -p /var/repository/s11u4
Winscp the files from your desktop to /var/repository/s11u4 of the repository
server
cd to the /var/repository/s11u4, verify all files are copied
root@titan:/var/repository/s11u4# ls -lrt
total 18817566

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 495 Jan 11 11:13 sol-11_4-repo_digest.txt
Setting up the base the repo
Set execute permissin to script [Link]
root@titan:/var/repository/s11u4# chmod 755 [Link]
Note: Ensure file sol-11_4-repo_digest.txt is available in the same directory. This
is mandatory to compare the checksum of zip files.
Install the repository
root@titan:/var/repository/s11u4# ./[Link] -d /repo
Using sol-11_4-repo download.

Uncompressing sol-11_4-repo_4of5.zip...done.
Uncompressing sol-11_4-repo_5of5.zip...done.
Repository can be found in /repo.
Applying the incremental Updates
Next to step is to apply the incremental patchset update. Oracle will release
incrementals pacthset updates regulary. It can be downloaded
from [Link]
Login to myoraclesupport -> and go to Patches and Updates. Search the
incremental update as below under section Patch Search.
Download the latest incremental IPS repository patchset from the search results.
Create a directory /var/repository/s11incr in the repository server
#mkdir /var/repository/s11incr
winscp patchset files to /var/repository/s11incr
Copy the [Link] file which you have downloded along with base repo
files to /var/repository/s11incr/
root@titan:~# cd /var/repository/s11incr/
root@titan:/var/repository/s11incr# cp -p ../s11u4/[Link] .
Create digest file sol-11_4-repo_digest.txt for all the zip files
root@titan:/var/repository/s11incr# ls -lrt
total 10083540

root@titan:/var/repository/s11incr# digest -v -a sha256 p28932200_1100_So
Install the incremental updates to base repo
root@titan:/var/repository/s11incr# ./[Link] -d /repo
Using p28932200_1100_Solaris86-64 files for sol-11_4-repo download.
