Couldn't resolve host 'pkg.oracle.com' Solaris 11

If you met the same problem when you try to get responce from pkg install on Solaris 11 and getting error

Unable to contact valid package repository
Encountered the following error(s):
Unable to contact any configured publishers.
This is likely a network configuration problem.
Framework error: code: 6 reason: Couldn't resolve host 'pkg.oracle.com'
URL: 'https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support' (happened 4 times)

Here is a procedure that helped me 

1 Checking DNS 

root# svcs |grep dns
online         Apr_06   svc:/network/dns/client:default

root# svccfg -s network/dns/client

svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/search = astring: ("test.com" "service.test.com")
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/nameserver = net_address: (8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4)
svc:/network/dns/client> exit

root# svcadm refresh dns/client
root# svcadm restart dns/client

looking for result

 root# more /etc/resolv.conf 

#
# _AUTOGENERATED_FROM_SMF_V1_
#
# WARNING: THIS FILE GENERATED FROM SMF DATA.

# See resolv.conf(4) for details.

domain  solaris.local
search  test.com service.test.com
nameserver      8.8.8.8
nameserver      8.8.8.8

2 TRYING ANOTHER TIME


root# pkg set-publisher -k /var/pkg/ssl/pkg.oracle.com.key.pem -c /var/pkg/ssl/pkg.oracle.com.certificate.pem -g https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support/ -G http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ solaris

pkg set-publisher: The origin URIs for 'solaris' do not appear to point to a valid pkg repository.
Please verify the repository's location and the client's network configuration.
Additional details:

URL: 'https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support' (happened 4 times)

3 LOOKING FOR CONNECTION


root# host pkg.oracle.com
pkg.oracle.com is an alias for pkg.oraclegha.com.
pkg.oraclegha.com has address 137.254.56.21



root# nslookup pkg.oracle.com
Server:         8.8.8.8
Address:        8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:
pkg.oracle.com  canonical name = pkg.oraclegha.com.
Name:   pkg.oraclegha.com
Address: 137.254.56.21

4 FIXING NSSWITCH


root# svccfg -s system/name-service/switch
svc:/system/name-service/switch> setprop config/host = astring: "files dns"
svc:/system/name-service/switch> exit
root# svcadm refresh name-service/switch
root# svcadm restart name-service/switch

looking for result

 root# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf

      can you give results of cat /etc/resolv.conf ? This ip's was mine dns servers 172.27.129.4 and 129.5 so you need setprop config/nameserver = net_address: (8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4)

    you can change the nameserver ip. Most likely you should put your gateway IP or host node gateway IP. for me I have given 192.168.1.1 and it worked.Also add domain in the configuration.

    #svccfg -s network/dns/client
    svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/search = astring: ("test.com" "service.test.com")
    svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/nameserver = net_address: (192.168.1.1)
    svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/domain = astring: ("solaris.local")

    And restart the services
    svc:/network/dns/client> exit

    root# svcadm refresh dns/client
    root# svcadm restart dns/client
