How to patch Solaris11 offline

niccoNov 12 2014 — edited Nov 13 2014

How can I please patch my Solaris11 server with recent patches downloaded from support.oracle.com if the server is not connected to the internet?

I have 11.1, so Oracle support page gave me these 2 patch bundles:

p19848967_1100_SOLARIS64_1of2.zip

p19848967_1100_SOLARIS64_2of2.zip

I uploaded them on the server and unzipped them into /export/home/sw_image/sol_patches

Then I changed original directory from online to pointing to my unzipped files/directories:

[root@server:/export/home/sw_image/sol_patches]$ pkg publisher

PUBLISHER                   TYPE     STATUS P LOCATION

solaris                     origin   online F http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/

[root@server:/export/home/sw_image/sol_patches]$

[root@server:/export/home/sw_image/sol_patches]$ pkg set-publisher -G '*' -g 'file:////export/home/sw_image/sol_patches/' 'solaris'

[root@server:/export/home/sw_image/sol_patches]$ pkg publisher

PUBLISHER                   TYPE     STATUS P LOCATION

solaris                     origin   online F file:///export/home/sw_image/sol_patches/

[root@server:/export/home/sw_image/sol_patches]$

and now I wanted to patch my system but I've got this error:

[root@server:/export/home/sw_image/sol_patches]$ pkg update

Creating Plan (Running solver): \

pkg update: No solution was found to satisfy constraints

Plan Creation: Package solver has not found a solution to update to latest available versions.

This may indicate an overly constrained set of packages are installed.

latest incorporations:

  pkg://solaris/consolidation/ips/ips-incorporation@0.5.11,5.11-0.175.2.3.0.3.0:20140922T212539Z

  pkg://solaris/consolidation/userland/userland-incorporation@0.5.11,5.11-0.175.2.3.0.5.0:20141019T180830Z

The following indicates why the system cannot update to the latest version:

  No suitable version of required package pkg://solaris/consolidation/X/X-incorporation@0.5.11,5.11-0.175.2.1.0.3.1413:20140722T155222Z found:

    Reject:  pkg://solaris/consolidation/X/X-incorporation@0.5.11,5.11-0.175.2.1.0.3.1413:20140722T155222Z

    Reason:  A version for 'incorporate' dependency on pkg:/x11/library/libfontenc@1.1.2,5.11-0.175.2.0.0.42.1406 cannot be found

  No suitable version of required package pkg://solaris/entire@0.5.11,5.11-0.175.2.3.0.5.0:20141019T181440Z found:

    Reject:  pkg://solaris/entire@0.5.11,5.11-0.175.2.3.0.5.0:20141019T181440Z
