Steps to upgrade from Solaris 11 to Solaris 11.1 (update 1)

1) Make sure we have publisher setup already if not we have to use pkg command to set publisher (Using SSL certs if we have valid support)




# pkg publisher

PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION

solaris origin online F http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/



2) Update the system with latest patches/release



# pkg update



3) Reboot the system to boot from alternate boot enviromnent



# reboot



3) Update the package itself



# pkg update pkg:/package/pkg



4) Update to Solaris 11.1 with accept option



#pkg update --accept



A clone of solaris-1 exists and has been updated and activated.

On the next boot the Boot Environment solaris-2 will be

mounted on '/'. Reboot when ready to switch to this updated BE.
