Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 11 to 11.1 update help Post 302981782 by fly3rs on Monday 19th of September 2016 12:01:06 PM

Yes the plan is to go to 11.2 - I got the 11.1 update to work on both global and non global 11.0 system. The thing is I did so much stuff I'm still not clear on the procedure - mainly on how to get the repository to be seen by the zone - when I got the update to finally work the zone had a pkg publisher of an http localhost:1008/sorlairs/version (I assume) it was a long string of numbers... well I did get it to work but not sure how I did it... :-) Next step is to update to 11.2 tomorrow. I will post output of what you requested if I have trouble with that. I did have to download a pre-update iso and combine it with 11.0 repo to do the first part of update - then I had to run pkg install pkg/package after that with 11.1 repo configured and that's when it wouldn't connect to the zone... kept failing with https connection errors... I went back and looked at 11.1 docs and I configured a sharenfs for the repo and also configured application/pkg/server. After I did all that I got pkg install package/pkg to run. Here is the application/pkg/server steps I followed:

This service was in maintenance when I checjed it after configuration.. i rebooted system and it came back disabled.. I enabled it and it went online - after that I was able to install package/pkg and update both global and non global zone.

Code:
$ svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/inst_root=/export/11.1repo
$ svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/readonly=true

Check your work:

Code:
$ svcprop -p pkg/inst_root application/pkg/server
/export/repoSolaris11

Use pkg.depotd to serve the repository to clients. By default, pkg.depotd listens for connections on port 80. You can change the port by resetting the pkg/port property.

Code:
$ svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/port=port_number

Start the Repository Service

Restart the pkg.depotd repository service.

Code:
$ svcadm refresh application/pkg/server
$ svcadm enable application/pkg/server

Here are the NFS share steps I followed:

Code:
root@suntest:/var/tmp/11.1repo# zfs create -o mountpoint=/export/11-1repo rpool/export/11-1repo
cannot create 'rpool/export/11-1repo': dataset already exists

root@suntest:/var/tmp/11.1repo# zfs set share=name=s11-1repo,path=/export/11-1repo,prot=nfs rpool/export/11-1repo
name=s11-1repo,path=/export/11-1repo,prot=nfs

root@suntest:/var/tmp/11.1repo# zfs set sharenfs=on rpool/export/11-1repo

root@suntest:/var/tmp/11.1repo# grep repo /etc/dfs/sharetab
/export/11-1repo        s11-1repo       nfs     sec=sys,rw      
root@usphlsuntest:/var/tmp/11.1repo#

Make sure sharenfs is on:

Code:
root@suntest:/var/tmp/11.1repo# zfs get sharenfs rpool/export/11-1repo
NAME                   PROPERTY  VALUE     SOURCE
rpool/export/11-1repo  sharenfs  on        local
root@suntest:/var/tmp/11.1repo#

Here is the error I was getting before I performed the above...

Code:
root@suntest:/var/tmp/pre-upgrade# pkg install /package/pkg

Encountered the following error(s):
Unable to contact any configured publishers.
This is likely a network configuration problem.
1: Framework error: code: 7 reason: couldn't connect to host

I can't put URLs in my message the the error is unable to connect to localhost 1008 etc...


Any Idea what I did to get it to work?

---------- Post updated at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous update was at 11:55 AM ----------

PS - after all this and getting the systems to 11.1 I was able to install a new 11.1 zone using the 11-1repo - so it looks like the repo is working OK now - my worries are when I unset that repo and configure the 11.2 repo I will have the same issues. I'd like to know what I'm doing with this stuff but docs online are barbaric... haha

By the way thanks a lot for taking an interest and trying to help me out...
