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...

zoneadmd
zoneadmd(1M) zoneadmd(1M)
NAME
zoneadmd - zone administration daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/zones/zoneadmd
zoneadmd is a system daemon that is started when the system needs to manage a particular zone. Because each instance of the zoneadmd daemon
manages a particular zone, it is not unexpected to see multiple zoneadmd daemons running.
This daemon is started automatically by the zone management software and should not be invoked directly. The daemon shuts down automati-
cally when no longer in use. It does not constitute a programming interface, but is classified as a private interface.
