As part of my work to package up the fantastic Sensu monitoring framework for Solaris 11, I have just uploaded a complete package of Redis 2.8.9 to my IPS package repositories (x86 only at the moment - see the docs linked below). This also includes a SMF manifest, so a pkg install redis should provide with all you need to get going straight away:

$ pkg install redis
           Packages to install:  1
       Create boot environment: No
Create backup boot environment: No
            Services to change:  1

It’s currently available in both the /dev and /stable branches - for more information and a quick overview on how to use my repositories, see the documentation and user guide. I aim to get the rest of the components such as RabbitMQ and so on sorted over the next few weeks, so very soon you should hopefully be able to do a simple pkg install sensu-server or pkg install sensu-client on Solaris 11 x86.
