The workaround below should fix the issue with the SMF Repositories-Setup going into maintenance. Below is a workaround I used to address/fix the issue with the svc:/application/pkg/system-repository:default going in to maintenance. So I am to trying to install a zone on a fresh Solaris 11.4 server, by running the below.

zoneadm -z z1 install
The following ZFS file system(s) have been created:
    rpool/VARSHARE.zones/z1
Progress being logged to /var/log/zones/zoneadm.20180917T163026Z.z1.install
       Image: Preparing at /system/zones/z1/root.

Error Unable to enable svc:/application/pkg/system-repository:default, please enable the service manually.
zoneadm: zone 'z1': ERROR:installation failed: zone switching to configured state
The following ZFS file systems are being removed:
     /system/zones/z1/root.

zoneadm -z z1 install

The following ZFS file system(s) have been created:

rpool/VARSHARE.zones/z1

First you add the IDR/p5p file to the repo Note: To see how-to create a Solaris pkg click here

pkgrecv -d /var/mnt/virtlibs/1362593673064/1495c928-9096-4e11-9958-25856df9b57f/data -s /tmp/idr793.1.p5p "*"
Processing packages for publisher solaris ...
Retrieving and evaluating 2 package(s)...
PROCESS                                         ITEMS    GET (MB)   SEND (MB)
Completed                                         2/2   48.1/48.1 103.9/103.9

pkgrecv -d /var/mnt/virtlibs/1362593673064/1495c928-9096-4e11-9958-25856df9b57f/data -s /tmp/idr793.1.p5p "*"
