thanks - yes it did update the zone automatically but only after I had trouble configuring the global zone IPS repo. I started out with a fresh 11.0 install and was able to create a zone with 11.0 repo... that zone took a pkg publisher of localhost as the global zone was using file:///export/repo11-0 which is where I copied the download. This is all being done on test system and I'm creating zones as I update - the system I will be working on is 11.0 and has zones on it with no pkg publisher - well they have the default which using oracle web site - there is no internet connection for these systems so I'm having to do it with local IPS repos. This forum won't let me put links in it until I have 5 posts but the pkg publisher on both my zones now are h t t p localhost 1008 solaris. My concern is when I attempt this on production system the update to the zones will not connect to the repo configured on the global zone. The repo on my zones was I guess automatically created when I built them from the corresponding repos... I built one zone at 11.0 it updated to 11.1 when I updated the global zone.. i created another zone with 11.1 repo. Right now I believe both my zones see the 11.1 repo via http connection but not sure what will happen when I change the repo to 11.2 - more so I'm concerned that none of this will work on production system as I belive the 11.0 zones on it where created with .flar file not a IPS repo... any guidance is appreciated.. thanks a lot - Steve

PS - I belive with Solaris 11 and above the zones are called Kernel zones and take the properties of global zone properties..
Here is global zone pkg publisher..
root@suntest:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
solaris origin online F file:///export/11-1repo/
root@suntest:~#
Here are both zones publishers
root@testzone:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
solaris (syspub) origin online F <system-repository>
root@testzone:~#
The original pkg publisher on teszone after it was created with 11.0repo and pre-update repo was
root@testzone:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris (syspub) origin online localhost:1008/solaris/33282b6a4e23725e2f8bed226e001415c59822cd/
solaris (syspub) origin online localhost:1008/solaris/85de7030275d53794b9da3089aafe72436621f1f/
root@testzone:~#
then it changed to
root@testzone:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris (syspub) origin online localhost:1008/solaris/64d778c23faf291c05547397679007c683a7d502/
root@testzone:~#
excuse the 2 above results as I can't post URL's yet until I have 5 posts... but there was an h t t p in front of localhost...
and now it's
root@testzone11-1:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
solaris (syspub) origin online F <system-repository>
root@testzone11-1:~#
I guess after the update to 11.1 it no longer points to http connection
Now you see why it's so confusing... I made none of these changes to the zones - it was all done either during initial build or while updating global zone...

rem_drv
rem_drv(1M) rem_drv(1M)
NAME
rem_drv - remove a device driver from the system
SYNOPSIS
rem_drv [-b basedir] device_driver
The rem_drv command informs the system that the device driver device_driver is no longer valid. If possible, rem_drv unloads device_driver
from memory. rem_drv also updates the system driver configuration files.
If rem_drv has been executed, the next time the system is rebooted it automatically performs a reconfiguration boot (see kernel(1M)).
The following options are supported:
-b basedir Sets the path to the root directory of the diskless client. Used on the server to execute rem_drv for a client. The client
machine must be rebooted to unload the driver.
Note - The root file system of any non-global zones must not be referenced with the -b option. Doing so might damage the
global zone's file system, might compromise the security of the global zone, and might damage the non-global zone's
file system. See zones(5).
Example 1: Removing the sd Driver
The following example removes the sd driver from use:
example% rem_drv sd
Example 2: Removing a Diskless Client
The following example removes the driver from the sun1 diskless client. The driver is not uninstalled or unloaded until the client machine
is rebooted.
example% rem_drv -b /export/root/sun1 sd
Note the caveat on the use of the -b option in the description of that option, above.
