BUT, I can't find any specific details on how to make that work.
I would need to know what pkg repo and publisher syntax to use
for the first step going from 144 to 151a. And then the next step.
The release notes for 151a were no help. My publishers are a little
messed up and need to start fresh;
root@zcube:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris (preferred) origin online
[1]http://ipkg.sfbay.sun.com/dev/solaris/
opensolaris.org (non-sticky) origin online
[2]http://ipkg.sfbay/dev/
opensolaris.org (non-sticky) origin online
[3]http://ipkg.sfbay/release/
root@zcube:~# uname -a
SunOS zcube 5.11 snv_144 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
Any help?

I've not tried this particular sequence, so I'd start by taking a clone of the
current BE in case everything goes badly.
So, after taking that clone, the first step is to remove the opensolaris.org
publishers:
pkg unset-publisher opensolaris.org
Next, set your solaris publisher to the release repo:
pkg set-publisher -G http://ipkg.sfbay.sun.com/dev/solaris -g
http://ipkg.us.oracle.com/solaris11/release solaris
Next try:
pkg update -nv
That's "image-update" at 144. And it didn't work; tries to update 'pkg' and
fails with ips-incorporation constraints; adding '-f' doesn't help, nor does
specifying the 151 version (both 151 and 175 are in the release repo now, so
specifying the versions is probably going to be necessary for all this, I'm
guessing).
Trying to remove ips-incorporation fails because of a bunch of things that
depend on it. I don't remember the way out of this one, but I remember it being
painful.
And see what it does. If it looks like it's taking you to build 151a bits,
great. If it doesn't, try uninstalling all the packages from opensolaris.org:
pkg uninstall 'pkg://opensolaris.org/*'
I can try this in the test BE; it's removing a wad of stuff, and when it's done
I'll try "install [email protected]" next. I worry that it will have lost
all the system configuration by doing that, though.
and trying the update again. Once you get to the 151a bits, you should be able
to move forward to 175b by following the release notes. (You may need to
uninstall packages from opensolaris.org to move forward.)
Hth,
Brock
