Standing a new IPS server , don't forget to set the publisher.prefix. A lot of blog posts and doco pre-dates this addition

pfexec svccfg -s pkg/server "setprop pkg/port=10000"

pfexec svccfg -s pkg/server "setprop pkg/inst_root=/export/ipsrepo"

pfexec svcadm enable pkg/server

pfexec svcadm restart pkg/server
