So we put it off into a "lost+found" directory. So, what I get here is, it is the intended behavior of IPS.

I tried upgrading my image through: pkg image-update But the image-update would hang and also the network interface goes down! Then I tried upgrading by doing(hope these are the correct packages to be installed) pkg install SUNWipkg pkg install SUNWpkgcmds Both these commands are hung in the "Creating Plan |" state for a long time!

Not an option at the moment. The program is a legacy one and it is now being ported to IPS standards.
