![]() The connection to IPS repositories will be proxied through the global zone. What does this mean? First of all it means that the local zone need not have access to the Internet. A local zone will use the global zone’s IPS depot server as a repository/proxy when packages are installed in the local zone. In Solaris 11 the zones are completely independent when it comes to IPS packages. (I would have liked to publish in Open Document Format but does not allow this … but it allows XLS format. Yes, I know it looks like shit, but I’ve also made the data available in XLS Spreadsheet format. ![]() I’ve done that for you in the table below. To really know what gets installed you have to do some clever parsing. Or more correctly: pkg contents -t depend -o fmri -s fmri -r solaris-small-serverīut that will only give you the direct dependencies. You can look at the list of contents for those package clusters by using a command such as: $ pkg contents -mr group/system/solaris-small-server | grep "^depend " The point to make here is that what gets installed by default into a zone is very limited indeed. If you read the blog post you can see that you can customize what gets installed by default when you create a zone. ![]() What gets installed ? All packages from the package cluster named solaris-small-server (including indirect dependencies) will be installed. What gets installed ? If you are simply installing from the ISO image then all packages from the package cluster named solaris-large-server (including indirect dependencies) as well as necessary hardware drivers will be installed. I believe most people use Solaris solely as a server OS. Solaris as a server OS is unparalleled/unrivaled. Why? Well this is what you would do if you installed a server (as opposed to a workstation). ![]() The starting point in this blog is a so called “Text Install” of Solaris 11. So what really gets installed by default in Solaris 11 ? ![]()
