About Adding Packages in Systems With Zones Installed

On the Oracle Solaris 11 release, use the pkg install command.

# pkg install package_name

Using pkg in the Global Zone

The pkg install command is used in the global zone to add the package to the global zone only. The package is not propagated to any other zones.

Using the pkg install Command in a Non-Global Zone

The pkg install command is used by the zone administrator in the non-global zone to add the package to the non-global zone only. To add a package in a specified non-global zone, execute the pkg install command as the zone administrator.

Package dependencies are handled automatically in IPS.

Adding Additional Packages in a Zone by Using a Custom AI Manifest

The process of adding extra software in a zone at installation can be automated by revising the AI manifest. The specified packages and the packages on which they depend will be installed. The default list of packages is obtained from the AI manifest. The default AI manifest is /usr/share/auto_install/manifest/zone_default.xml. See Adding and Updating Oracle Solaris 11.1 Software Packages for information on locating and working with packages.

Example 24-1 Revising the Manifest

The following procedure adds mercurial and a full installation of the vim editor to a configured zone named my-zone. (Note that only the minimal vim-core that is part of solaris-small-server is installed by default.)

  1. Copy the default AI manifest to the location where you will edit the file, and make the file writable.

    # cp /usr/share/auto_install/manifest/zone_default.xml ~/my-zone-ai.xml
    # chmod 644 ~/my-zone-ai.xml
  2. Edit the file, adding the mercurial and vim packages to the software_data section as follows:

          <software_data action="install">
                   <name>pkg:/group/system/solaris-small-server</name>
                   <name>pkg:/developer/versioning/mercurial</name>
                   <name>pkg:/editor/vim</name>
                </software_data>
  3. Install the zone.

    # zoneadm -z my-zone install -m ~/my-zone-ai.xml

    The system displays:

    A ZFS file system has been created for this zone.
