You are setting up a local image packaging System (IPS) package repository on your Oracle Solaris 11 server. The information and specifications that…

B: Set the correct permissions. Serving a Local Repository Using SMF First, create a ZFS file system to hold the repository. Next, make a local copy of the IPS repository file. Make the contents of the repository file available to the pkg.depotd(1M) server, using the lofiadm command to mount the ISO image. 4. (A) Copy the repository files to the ZFS file system you created. This will increase the performance of repository accesses and avoid the need to remount the .iso image each time the system restarts. (Be sure to use /mnt/repo, not /mnt/repo/, so that you copy the repo directory and not just the files and subdirectories in the repo directory.) # rsync -aP /mnt/repo /export/repo2010_11 You can use the df command to confirm the copy: 5. Once the files are copied, unmount the image and deallocate the block device. 6. Now that your local copy is ready, use the svccfg command to configure the repository server service, specifying the location of your local repository and setting readonly to true: (D)# svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/inst_root=/export/repo2010_11/repo (E)# svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/readonly=true 7. Start the pkg.depotd repository service: (G) # svcadm refresh application/pkg/server (I) # svcadm enable application/pkg/server Reference: How I Created Local Package Repositories http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/localrepositories1377242.html
