Description
Veritas has enhanced the InfoScale 8.0.2.x Common Product Installer (CPI) installer to support IPS repositories on Solaris.
This feature has now been added to InfoScale on Solaris using the updated CPI patch (CPI_8.0.2_P12.pl).
The CPI patch is available for download on Download Center (DC).

For this feature to work we have to create an IPS repository first, and then run the installer with the CPI -ipsrepo option followed by repository_name.
Steps
1.] Create a new Boot Environment (BE) and mount it. In this instance, the BE name is IS_IPSRepo with the mount-point /IS_IPSRepo.
# beadm create IS_IPSRepo
# beadm mount IS_IPSRepo /IS_IPSRepo
2.] To list the Veritas package versions and Solaris release for the newly created BE, type the following commands:
# pkg -R /IS_IPSRepo list VRTS*
# pkg -R /IS_IPSRepo info entire
3.] Download and extract the InfoScale 8.0.2 base software (Veritas_InfoScale_8.0.2_Solaris_SPARC.tar.gz) to /IS_IPSRepo.
# cd /IS_IPSRepo
# ls /IS_IPSRepo/Veritas_InfoScale_8.0.2_Solaris_SPARC.tar.gz/IS_IPSRepo/Veritas_InfoScale_8.0.2_Solaris_SPARC.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf Veritas_InfoScale_8.0.2_Solaris_SPARC.tar.gz
The Veritas CPI installer script will be located using the following path:
# pwd/IS_IPSRepo/dvd1-sol_sparc/sol11_sparc
4.] Create a Solaris IPS repository for InfoScale 8.0.2 patches. In this instance, the name is /export/VeritasRepo.
# zfs create rpool/export/VeritasRepo
# zfs list | grep VeritasRepo
# pkgrepo create /export/VeritasRepo
5.] Download the InfoScale 8.0.2 patch updates, in this instance infoscale-sol11_sparc-Patch-8.0.2.1800.tar.gz.
# cd /root
# tar -zxvf infoscale-sol11_sparc-Patch-8.0.2.1800.tar.gz
# cd /root/patches
# cp *.p5p /export/VeritasRepo/
# ls /export/VeritasRepo/
pkg5.repository VRTScavf.p5p VRTSdbac.p5p VRTSgms.p5p VRTSsfcpi.p5p VRTSvbs.p5p VRTSvxfen.p5p VRTSvxvm.p5p
VRTSaslapm.p5p VRTScps.p5p VRTSdbed.p5p VRTSodm.p5p VRTSsfmh.p5p VRTSvcs.p5p VRTSvxfs.p5p
For each VRTS*.p5p package add it to the repository as follows:
# for i in `ls -1 /export/VeritasRepo/*.p5p`; do echo $i; pkgrecv -s $i -d '/export/VeritasRepo/' '*'; done | sh -x
# /usr/bin/pkgrepo info -s '/export/VeritasRepo'

Veritas VRTSvxvm 8.0.2.1500:20240523T015547Z
6.] Copy the CPI_8.0.2_P12.pl patch to /tmp
7.] Change to the directory hosting the InfoScale 8.0.2 base software:
# cd /IS_IPSRepo/dvd1-sol_sparc/sol11_sparc
8.] Run the installer script with the updated CPI patch and -ipsrepo option followed by repository_name.
Sample syntax:
# ./installer -ipsrepo repository_name -require /tmp/CPI_8.0.2_P12.pl
# date; time ./installer -patch_path /export/VeritasRepo -ipsrepo 'http://:8092/' -rootpath /IS_IPSRepo -require /tmp/CPI_8.0.2_P12.pl
9.] Once the installer has completed, verify the updated Veritas package information
In this instance, the BE name is IS_IPSRepo with the mount-point /IS_IPSRepo.
# pkg -R /IS_IPSRepo list VRTS*
