Operating Systems Solaris Upgrading Solaris 11 11/11 to 11.3 - best practice Post 303000233 by Peasant on Thursday 6th of July 2017 09:57:26 PM

I would go two repositories.

One default (port 80 pkg/server) with 11.0 (full) + SRU 10.5
You will use this repository to upgrade your 11.0 release to 11.0.10.5

Second on port 81 (pkg/server:sol_11_3 for instance)
Here you will have 11.3 (full) + SRU
You will switch to this repository / publisher on clients after you used above to get to 11.0.10.5

After you have completed the update, you can remove 11.0 + SRU 10.5 repository since you will not need it anymore.

You can use 11.2 to host the repositories.

I would recommend going latest 11.3 (11.3.21.5) there are some nasty bugs introduced with KOM (kernel object manager) in solaris 11.3, involving kernel memory allocation / returning to free pool involving kom_reap().

Of course, test your applications, don't go big bang.
