Like any other newbie on Solaris, I didn’t know how to install the packages, I am used to yum or apt-get install but anyway on Solaris I did:
Giovanni@server:~/Downloads/filebench-1.4.8# pkg install SUNWfilebench
DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB)
Completed 1/1 60/60 0.32/0.32PHASE ACTIONS
Install Phase 82/82
Giovanni@server:~/Downloads/filebench-1.4.8#
and it was installed 🙂 Use pkg search to search for packages.
Giovanni@server:/usr/benchmarks/filebench# bin/go_filebench
