Determining Oracle Solaris 11 Os Package Update Version - Sun Oracle Netra SPARC T4-1B Product Notes

Determining Oracle Solaris 11 OS Package Update
Version
Updates to Oracle Solaris 11 are provisioned using package updates called Support
Repository Updates (SRUs) instead of patches. SRUs are part of a new OS
provisioning scheme called the Image Packaging System (IPS).
To determine the package version of the Oracle Solaris 11 OS installed on your
system, use the pkg info kernel command and interpret the FMRI value
displayed in the output. This is an example:
# pkg info kernel
Name: system/kernel
Summary: Core Kernel
Description: Core operating system kernel, device drivers and other modules.
Category: System/Core
State: Installed
Publisher: solaris
Version: 0.5.11
Build Release: 5.11
Branch: 0.175.0.2.0.2.1
Packaging Date: Wed Oct 19 07:57:11 2011
Size: 17.99 MB
FMRI: pkg://solaris/system/kernel@0.5.11,5.11-0.175.0.2.0.2.1:
Evaluate the following three fields in the FMRI value:
175 – The value 175 indicates that the system has Oracle Solaris 11 OS installed.
■
This value is a constant for Oracle Solaris 11.
0 – The first field to the right of 175 indicates the update release. In this example,
■
there have been no updates to the initial release.
2 – The next field contains the SRU value. In this example, the second patch
■
bundle (called SRU2) has been installed on Oracle Solaris 11, update 0.
You can ignore the other fields in the FMRI package description.
When you know which version of the OS is installed, you can access a list of all the
packages contained in that release from the following web page:
http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/en/index.shtml
To list the packages contained in a particular Oracle Solaris 11 release, select that
release in the Release and Branch pull-down menu and press the Browse button. Or
you can search for individual packages in the Search for: window.
