Support Repository

After installing Solaris11 you will find "only" the default Oracle repository:

pressy@sol11vmc1:~$ pkg publisher
PUBLISHER                             TYPE     STATUS   URI
solaris                               origin   online   http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
pressy@sol11vmc1:~$ pfexec pkg update -nv
No updates available for this image.
pressy@sol11vmc1:~$

So if you own a valid service contract, you are allowed to add the support repository:
