Solaris 11 - Image Packaging System Basics (IPS)

Basics of Repository :
  • Administrators can suggest whether we required Oracle repository or Local repository depends on environment requirements.
  • Oracle Solaris 11 installations will come up with default publisher http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release which supplies all packages from the oracle release repository.
  • Administrators can install new software packages, search the content of package or mirror the contents of that repository locally.
  • Oracle Solaris 11 having many IPS pkg command which query the system with using option "list, info, content, search, history can be performed by users.
Basics of Packages FMRI:
below output you can understand the brief about the structure of package FMRI (Fault Managed Resources Identifier).
