2.- Now you have in the directory "/var/tmp/stb/extract" de ipsrepo

 # cd /var/tmp/stb/extract
rwxr-xr-x   3 102      staff          4 Mar  8 11:28 ipsrepo

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root           3 Mar 28 14:52 ST


3.- Run a pkg publisher in order to check the default Publisher installed by Oracle. However you can have an internal repository configured as Publisher, in our case I have the default Publisher.

#pkg publisher
PUBLISHER                   TYPE     STATUS P LOCATION
solaris                     origin   online F
https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support/

4.- Add the "ipsrepo" on the server in order to enable it. And check after adding to validate the new repository

#pkg set-publisher -g file:///var/tmp/stb/extract/ipsrepo/ Solaris

#pkg publisher
PUBLISHER                   TYPE     STATUS P LOCATION
solaris                     origin   online F file:///var/tmp/stb/extract/ipsrepo/
solaris                     origin   online F
https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support/

5.- Validate the Explorer versión installed
# explorer -V
Explorer version: 8.10
Build number: 20150321


6.-Set the following parameter and after that you can install the new versión

# pkg change-facet version-lock.support/explorer=False
