😕 ? how to get this patch on Solaris when there is not access to internet.

Well there is a way  it is unlike RPM download for Linux. I have outlined the below steps to get the patching done.

First find the SRU version number from the server

             Name: entire
          Summary: entire incorporation including Support Repository Update (Oracle Solaris 11.3.25.3.0).


go to Oracle Support Note "Oracle Solaris 11.3 Support Repository Updates (SRU) Index (Doc ID 2045311.1)"

search for the SRU version and download the IPS Repository Patch



From the readme of the patch follow the instruction to update the repository manually.
