If you had Solaris 11.1 installed before and you have updated the system to
11.2 (with package update) and there is a way to go back to your previous
configuration.

Use "beadm list", this will show the different BE (boot environment) you
have. Each time you do "pkg update" to update the entire system, a new
BE is created. For example:

# beadm list
BE                  Active Mountpoint Space   Policy Created

This system is using BE solaris-6. Don't pay attention to "backup" BE.
Now you need to find the old BE containing Solaris 11.1.

To check the BE contain, you can mount it:

# beadm mount solaris-5 /mnt

# cat /mnt/etc/release
                            Oracle Solaris 11.1 SPARC
  Copyright (c) 1983, 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates.  All rights reserved.
                           Assembled 19 September 2012

# beadm unmount solaris-5


In this example, we can see that BE solaris-5 is Solaris 11.1

Once you have found your Solaris 11.1 BE, activate the BE and reboot.

For example:

# beadm activate solaris-5

# reboot 

• Rebuild the package index

# pkg rebuild-index

• Find the Solaris Package which belongs to a given File

  # pkg search -l /usr/bin/dd
  INDEX      ACTION VALUE      PACKAGE
  path       file   usr/bin/dd pkg:/system/core-os@0.5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.2

• Find the package contents

# pkg contents -t file,link,hardlink -o action.name,mode,pkg.size,path,target system/core-os
