configuration of IPS on oracle solaris11

In this article i will illustrate how to configure Solaris 11 IPS (Image packaging system) repository.
IPS is a new feature introduced in Oracle Soalris 11 operating system. This option has almost same features as linux "yum"

In this demonstration i have used windows as my DNS server and oracle solaris 11 as a DNS client.

Steps:

1 - Verify oracle solaris 11, windows host and domainname are pinggable with each other
2 - concatenate 2 image files of package repository
3 - create directory for storing IPS repository & copy single Image file to IPS repository directory
4 - configure IPS on Oralce solaris 11
5 - Verify IPS is working on client


1 - Verify oracle solaris 11, windows host and domainname are ping-gable with each other



2 - concatenate 2 image files of package repository


3 - create directory for storing IPS repository & copy single Image file to IPS repository directory


4 - configure IPS on Oralce solaris 11

* check the status of IPS service


* configure default location of IPS server

* search package entire


Here default location is oracle website "http://pkg.orasol.com/solaris/release" if internet is configured  on this machine then all packages can be installed from this repository. As there is no internet connection it encountered error.

* set the directory location where all packages exists


* set read only properties for IPS


* Refresh and enable the IPS Service


* Refresh IPS repository


* Check the existing publisher


* Removes the current publisher and add a new URL


5 - Verify IPS is working on client


Search for any package



Now using this repository we can Install packages on the server and all other required client. I hope this post will be helpful for those who were looking for configuring IPS on Oracle Soalris 11 using windows as their DNS server.

If you have any doubts/suggestions then all comments are appreciated.

Do we need to mount the full-repo iso before doing the "rsync -aP"?
