solaris 11 universal forwarder install problem

sandyelrick — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 06:51:21 GMT

When trying to install the package on Solaris 11 SPARC machine, I am getting a general failure:

pkg install: The following pattern(s) did not match any allowable packages. Try using a different matching pattern, or refreshing publisher information:
splunkforwarder-6.2.4-271043-solaris-8-sparc.pkg

When I review the package install history, I have these details:

I am at a loss to understand the failure at this point.

Well, finally figured it out with help.

You need to set the publisher definition up first (further steps are as follows):

pkg set-publisher -p /tmp/install/splunkforwarder-6.2.4-271043-solaris-11-sparc.p5p splunk

Test the package:
pkg install -nv splunkforwarder

Install:
pkg install ./splunkforwarder-6.2.4-271043-solaris-11-sparc.p5p splunk

Verify installed (two commands):
pkg list -v splunkforwarder
FMRI IFO
pkg://splunk/application/splunkforwarder@6.2.4,271043:20150626T044039Z i--

pkg info -r splunkforwarder
Name: application/splunkforwarder
Summary: Splunk Universal Forwarder

Publisher: splunk
Version: 6.2.4

Remove the temporary publisher:

pkg unset-publisher splunk

Hello,

there is a mistake up there on the pkg install .....

It is as simple as pkg install splunkforwarder since the publisher and has already been setup
