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.
Thanks for reading :)
