Operating Systems Solaris Solaris Repo Update Post 303016024 by gull04 on Wednesday 18th of April 2018 09:24:42 AM

Hi Dennis,

I built the system, I used the text installer and then pulled down the initial repo from the Oracle site - all good and well so far.

I then ran the pkgrecv as follows;

Code:
root@fvssphsun01:~# http_proxy=http://proxyspw.corp.XXXXXXXXX.com:8080 
root@fvssphsun01:~# export  http_proxy 
root@fvssphsun01:~#  pkgrecv --key /var/pkg/ssl/pkg.oracle.com.key.pem --cert /var/pkg/ssl/pkg.oracle.com.certificate.pem -s https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support/ -d /export/s11repo '*'

Again all good and well although it took 3days and 18hours down loading almost 140Gb, this was followed by;

Code:
pkgrepo verify -s /export/s11repo

This also ran just dandy, can't remember how long it took and was followed by;

Code:
root@fvssphsun01:~# pkgrepo refresh -s /export/s11repo                           
Initiating repository refresh. 
pkgrepo: There is not enough memory to complete the requested operation.  At least 
4GB of virtual memory was in use by this command before it ran out of memory. 
You must add more memory (swap or physical) or allow the system to access more 
existing memory, or quit other programs that may be consuming memory, and try 
the operation again.

You'll notice that we had a 4Gb error which I thought was suspicious, so I increased the swap - no change. I added another 32G memory - no change. I changed the ZFS ARC Cache setting and the 4Gb error became a 3Gb error even with the additional swap and the additional physical memory.

Regards

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
