Today I installed Oracle Solaris 11.11 in virtualbox. My machine needs to be bulletproof for our production databases but
First problem is that I can't install anything using IPS where publisher is solars, default freeware repo for Oracle Solaris. I need SUNWhea because smart people in Oracle don't include those system header files anymore with default installation of Oracle Studio and we can't install applications which depend on that package.
Every time I issue
pkg install SUNWhea
Solaris returns "no updates available for this image"
I tried to refresh repos, uninstall and then add same repo, recreate index and nothing helped.
root@ora12c:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
solarisstudio origin online F https://pkg.oracle.com/solarisstudio/release/
solaris origin online F http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
root@ora12c:~# pkg install system/header
No updates necessary for this image.
