Clipmate 7 5 26 keygenguru. Sep 8, 2014 - Because SPARC based servers are installed using the Oracle Solaris 11 Text Installer (installing the solaris-large-server group of software.
By default, the soalris11 text based installation will not install complete package. It will install minimum / default packages. If you want to use GUI desktop, we have to install desktop GUI package from the IPS repository.
We can install these package from online if you have a internet connection or if you have a local repository then you can install those packages from there. Generally Solaris11 will pickup all the dependency packages automatically while installing. In my environment I have configured local repository so I am installing from there. This installation will requires a reboot of the system to enable GUI desktop. Basically in solaris11 by default it will creates a backup Boot environment depend on the package requirement, for our GUI installation it creates a backup Boot environment and it can be revert back any time.
