Solaris 11 Local Repository in "maintenance state"

[anonymous]

Created Local Solaris 11.1 Repository using this Oracle document -

www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-dev/int-s11-repositories-1632678.html

However, the service svc:/application/pkg/server:s11ReleaseRepo never started correctly.

The log file shows -

Dropping net_privaddr privilege.
ppriv -s A=basic,-file_link_any,-proc_info,-proc_session,net_privaddr -e /usr/li
b/pkg.depotd --cfg svc:/application/pkg/server:s11ReleaseRepo

pkg.depotd: The path '/export/S11ReleaseRepo' does not contain a valid package r
epository.

[ Feb 6 15:12:32 Method "start" exited with status 1. ]


Clearing and restarting service does not fix this problem.

# pkgrepo get -s /export//s11ReleaseRepo
SECTION PROPERTY VALUE
publisher prefix solaris
repository version 4

THANK YOU for any hints and suggestions.

In article <3a8bbcea-2d00-4b2d...@googlegroups.com>,

A couple of thoughts...

Can the repo be read as a non-priv user?

Some of the pkg tools need to be pointed at the 'repo' directory,
rather than its parent, but I forget which.

Permissions are at least 644 all the way down to the package level.

You do realise that the two paths are different in your post - the
first has a capitalised 'S' in S11, the second doesn't.

Suspect that your svc:/application/pkg/server:s11ReleaseRepo has the
wrong path specified.

If that doesn't fix it, do an ls of /export//s11ReleaseRepo as Andrew
already mentioned, it might be that your path is one level out.

Maui,

You are absolutely correct !!!

When I perform listprop on the service, pkg/inst_root had the uppercase S11.
Edited, and refreshed the service - ALL IS GOOD NOW.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Thanks for this thread of discussion.
I ran into similar error, see below

Dropping net_privaddr privilege.
ppriv -s A=basic,-file_link_any,-proc_info,-proc_session,net_privaddr -e /usr/lib/pkg.depotd --cfg svc:/application/pkg/server:default
pkg.depotd: The path '/var/pkgrepo' does not contain a valid package repository.

Basically, the path to the "default" repo does not exist or invalid.

In my example, the /var/pkgrepo is not the path to the "default" repo. The path to the "default" doesnot exist.
I fixed it.
