Hi,

I'm hoping that someone on this alias can provide some information about
searching for and installing a specific internal only pkg. By internal
only I mean that it is not distributed outside of Sun (er, Oracle).

The specific pkg was called SUNWonmtst (with .u and .v variants), and is
know known as:
...system/fault-management/mtst...

I find that I'm unable to find this pkg anymore, these are the
instructions that we have for the install, but now step 2 fails because
no packages that contain "mtst" can be found. I also searched the
contents. Has it been moved?

1) Point to the IPS repository which contains the mtst package (on-extra):

# pfexec pkg set-publisher -g http://ipkg.sfbay/on-extra/ on-extra

2) Check that the package is really there:

# pfexec pkg info -r
pkg://on-extra/system/fault-management/[email protected],5.11-0.xxx
where xxx is the build number

3) Install it:

# pfexec pkg install
pkg://on-extra/system/fault-management/[email protected],5.11-0.xxx

If I do "pkg info -r mtst", I see the package currently. It's still there in the on-extra repo.

First, thanks very much for the response. I can't check again since our system now has s10 on it but previously I was not able to find any mtst pkgs. Is your on-extra publisher set the same as the above "http://ipkg.sfbay/on-extra/";?

Also we often want our "mtst" users to install versions of the package
that are not putback to ON yet. How can a package that is built in a dev
ws be installed? I have not found the magic combination of
options/paths. IPS does not have to use http does it?

For example how can a package that is available at this location be
installed on a target system? Must the publisher settings be modified or
can the path be specified just for one install?

/net/hyper.sfbay/tank/ws/cy152378/clr/drop1/packages/sparc/nightly/repo.extra/pkg
The publisher settings must be modified.

OK, so what is the correct set of options to use to set the publisher appropriately? All my attempts returned errors. I also was not sure how much of the path should be used. For example is the above path ok or should it end at "repo.extra", or "sparc", or something?

Thanks for your help,

Sean
