File ini menyimpan package yang kita install di solaris, jika kita hendak membuat mesin cloning yang memiliki package level sama, maka bisa melakukan copy file ini ke mesin baru tersebut. Dengan asumsi mesin baru ini akan dibuat sama level packagenya dengan mesin reference.

Untuk melakukan test terhadap file contents ini bisa dilakukan dengan mereboot(shutdown -i6 -g0 -y), jika server berhasil up berarti contents nya lengkap.
