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. | |

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. | |

| Dec 6, 2018 at 5:28 | comment | added | GracefulRestart | 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. | |
| Dec 6, 2018 at 5:10 | comment | added | Ice Phoenix | 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" | |
