Oracle will release periodic updates for Oracle Solaris Operating System packages as Support Repository Updates (SRU). The latest available SRU is "Oracle Solaris 11.2.3.4.1 Support Repository Update"
Each SRU contains updates for multiple packages. If you want to update a specific package then you need to use locking mechanism on packages.
This method will be helpful if customers are not willing to update full SRU Immediately. They can update individual packages according to their requirements and at later stage they can update the complete SRU.
In this demonstration we will update bash shell independently of SRU cycle.
Steps:
- Check Existing version of bash
- Check for available updates
Installed version - 4.1.11-0.175.2.0.0.42.1
- Check package contents and lock status
- Lets try to update bash/shell without changing its facet "lock" status
It will not proceed as its not able to find the matching version of other packages.
- Change the facet value for shell/bash
- Update shell/bash package with specific SRU release
- Check the Installed version of shell/bash
The shell/bash package has been updated. The facet value of the package cannot be changed until you update the full SRU.
After updating the full SRU and rebooting system from the updated B.E. the facet value can be changed.
- Change the facet value
Same procedure is applicable for other packages as well. All packages can be updated individually without SRU cycle.
Thanks for reading.

You see, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the government and others used to get whatever they want.
THESE are the exact same methods many famous people (especially those who "come out of nothing") and elite business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You probably know that you use less than 10% of your brain.
That's mostly because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps this expression has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain about seven years ago, while riding a non-registered, beat-up bucket of a car without a license and $3.20 on his debit card.
"I'm very frustrated with going through life paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I become successful?"
You've been a part of those those types of conversations, am I right?
Your success story is waiting to be written. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
