For Oracle Solaris 11.2, Oracle supplies an installation package group that installs all of the software needed to support Oracle Database implementations. The package group is called:
group/prerequisite/oracle/oracle-rdbms-server-12-1-preinstall
Installing this package group creates an Oracle Database configuration on the Oracle Solaris 11.2 operating system, reducing the risk of installation errors and accelerating time-to-deployment. This package group makes sure that that all necessary packages required for a graphical interface installation of Oracle Database 12c are present on the system, regardless of the server package group (solaris-minimal-server, solaris-small-server, etc.) that was used to install Oracle Solaris.
