  • Oh wow, didn't even realize that. I'm not sure if it's still under a support contract, but when I try and do "pkg set-publisher pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support" I get an error that it's not a valid publisher name, so I assume this might mean there's no longer a support contract... Also do you know any guides/advice on how to roll-back to a "vanilla" version of Solaris 11.3 (or upgrade to 11.4) with a standard installation (no support license)? Can't seem to find much information online for doing this without a "support license" Commented Dec 6, 2018 at 5:10

    You would need to figure out entitlements and certificates to make the support repository work, and you have to use https://. This document covers how to setup the support repository and check if your system is under contract. If it is not under a support contract, then you have lost access to any packages that would match your incorporation and would need to switch to one of the available release versions.

    Oracle seems to like making things difficult for people who do not pay, hence no documentation for "no support." You could try to update your installed incorporation to 11.4 and see what happens (not sure of the necessity of this server, do not do this to a server in production), make sure you have good backups first.

  • Haha tell me about it, never had these types of issues with Linux ;). Thanks heaps for your help. One of my colleagues thinks we do have a support contract for the server (just need to find the login details now :) ). Not sure why the pkg publisher was set to the "release" repo and not the "support" one. Fingers crossed once I set the pkg publisher to "pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support" it will fix these errors.
