Installing a local repository from pkg.oracle.com
When installing a local repository from pkg.oracle.com please bear in mind that the default value for the option '-m' changed between Solaris 11.1
and Solaris 11.2
Note: A local repository with all timestamps takes approximately 130 GB in size ( sol 11.0 FCS -> sol 11.3 SRU 19 )
The same amount is required for the cache which resides in /var/tmp/pkgrecv-xyzxyz by default
In case the system does not have enough enough free space ( 130 GB ++ ) in /var/tmp for the cache, you need to define a certain cache-dir
on a volume with enough free space. e.g.
# pkgrecv ..some_options.. -c /data1/export/cache/ -m all-timestamps '*'
Default behaviour ( if the -m option is not specified) for Solaris S11.1 and Solaris S11.2
Solaris s11.1 default value is -m latest '*'

Solaris s11.2 default value is -m all-timestamps '*'
So, in case you want to have only 'latest' timestamps, you might consider to use -m latest '*' for pkgrecv command for all Solaris 11 versions
Example with option -m latest '*' :
# zfs create -o mountpoint=/export/repoSolaris11 rpool/export/repoSolaris11

# zfs set atime=off rpool/export/repoSolaris11
# pkgrepo create /export/repoSolaris11/
# pkgrecv -s https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support/ -d /export/repoSolaris11 \

--key /var/pkg/ssl/pkg.oracle.com.key.pem \
--cert /var/pkg/ssl/pkg.oracle.com.certificate.pem \

Generic Info to Setup a Local Repository Using install-repo.ksh
Solaris 11.2 provides a script install-repo.ksh to build/update a local repository. This script is included in the "Installation Guide" downloads in the
"IPS Repository" column of the
Content of the "Installation Guide" zip files:
install-repo.ksh
readme-11_2_XX_X_X.html
readme-11_2_XX_X_X.txt
README-zipped-repo.txt
sol-11_2_XX_X_X-incr-repo_md5sums.txt
Download file structure changed in s11.2.

For 11.2 GA and SRU's you need to create separate subdirectories ( one per GA and SRU each )
and place the downloaded parts into these subdirectories.
Update the local repository using the mentioned install-repo.ksh then.
The script install-repo.ksh needs to be in the same directory as the 11.2 GA or the SRU zip files along with the sol*-md5sums.txt ( i.e. sol-11_2_1_5_0-
incr-repo-md5sums.txt ) file.
The script looks for existing *.zip files in the directory and checks it's md5 checksum against the sol*-repo-md5sums.txt in the same directory.
If this test has been passed, it will unzip the *.zip files in the given local repository

Oracle Solaris 11.2 Repository

Organizations that want to keep a stricter control on what Oracle Solaris packages are being used on their systems, should consider setting up their own
repository.
This can be done by directly with Oracle’s hosted repository, or using the downloads below.
4 of 7 11/1/2018, 2:01 PM
To set up the repository, follow the instructions in the README by downloading the assembly script, MD5 checksums and 4 repository parts.
The repository will contain both SPARC and x86 packages.
Download README Instructions

Download Repository Assembly Script (install-repo.ksh)
Download MD5 Checksums
Download Oracle Solaris 11.2 Repository (Part 1) (1.7 GB)
The install-repo.ksh script is available along with four zip archives of Solaris 11.2 plus a checksum file sol-11_2_1_5_0-incr-repo-md5sums.txt
All of these files need to be downloaded into a specific directory
You can check a local repository with pkgrepo
/usr/bin/pkgrepo info -s <repo_uri_or_path>
If not already present, then you can create a new local repository using this
/usr/bin/pkgrepo create <uri_or_path>
Please bear in mind that you need Solaris 11.2 GA in your repository first. SRUs are incremental.
Excerpt from Install_guide for Solaris 11.2.2.5.0 SRU ( 11.2 SRU2.5.0 )
Managing the Repository
Oracle Solaris 11.2.2.5.0 Support Repository Update (Oracle Solaris 11.2 SRU2.5.0) README (Doc ID 1925904.1)
This SRU is provided in two parts: Oracle Solaris IPS Repository Installation Guide and Oracle Solaris IPS Repository.
The Oracle Solaris IPS Repository Installation Guide contains the install script and readme files.
The Oracle Solaris IPS Repository contains the zip files of the repository.
You must download both the parts from MOS to add the packages to an existing repository.
The zip file associated with this README must be used in conjunction with an existing local copy of the Oracle Solaris support repository.
It is necessary to have a valid solaris publisher set before performing an update. For instructions to create an
Oracle Solaris 11.2 package repository, see Copying and Creating Oracle Solaris 11.2 Package Repositories.
Managing the Repository
Some important points to consider before applying or installing the repository zip file:
* The minimum OS level required for the system to run this repository is Oracle Solaris 11.1.
* The repository is provided as zip files. They contain only the latest revision of IPS packages that have been added or changed since the initial release
of Oracle Solaris 11.2.
* This SRU is provided in two parts: Oracle Solaris IPS Repository Installation Guide and Oracle Solaris IPS Repository. The Oracle Solaris IPS
Repository Installation Guide contains the install
script and readme files. The Oracle Solaris IPS Repository contains the zip files of the repository. You must download both the parts
from MOS <https://support.oracle.com/rs?type=doc&id=1672221.1> to add the packages to an existing repository.
* The zip file associated with this README must be used in conjunction with an existing local copy of the Oracle Solaris support repository.
* It is necessary to have a valid |solaris| publisher set before performing an update. For instructions to create an Oracle Solaris 11.2 package
repository, see Copying and Creating Oracle Solaris 11.2 Package Repositories
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36805/index.html>.
The example commands listed in this section should be executed with |root| privileges or by using |sudo|(1M) or |pfexec|(1) commands.
How to Update an Oracle Solaris 11.2 Package Repository
Download the SRU's IPS Repository Installation Guide and IPS Repository patches from MOS.
Perform the following steps to update an existing Oracle Solaris 11.2 package repository with the contents of the SRU zip file.
1. Become an administrator.
For more information, see How to Use Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.2
<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E37123/rbactask-28.html#OSSUPrbactask-28>.
2. Run the |install-repo.ksh| script that is included in the IPS Repository Installation Guide patch to update your existing repository.
$ install-repo.ksh [-c] [-v] -d full_path_to_existing_s11_2_repo
For example:
$ install-repo.ksh -c -v -d /export/support-repo
3. If the repository is managed by |pkgserv|, restart the appropriate service.

$ svcadm restart svc:/application/pkg/server:your_repo_instance
For more information about using the |install-repo.ksh| script, see the |README-zipped-repo.txt| file.

SMF mirror service svc:/application/pkg/mirror:default is available to update a local repository by cronjob
How to Automatically Copy a Repository From the Internet

By default, the svc:/application/pkg/mirror SMF service performs a periodic pkgrecv operation from the solaris publisher origins
defined in this image to /var/share/pkg/repositories/solaris.
This pkgrecv operation starts at 2:30am one day each month. To change this default behavior, configure the service as described in this procedure.
At the end of each successful run of this service, the repository catalogs are refreshed. You do not need to refresh the repository to build a search
index.
Please see also http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/howto-set-up-repos-mirror-ips-2266101.html
ensure to set locale to 'C'
