Install one system from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM media with an interactive
program.
|
Solaris installation program
|
-
This program divides tasks into panels, prompts you for information,
and offers default values.
-
This program is not an efficient method when you have to install
or upgrade multiple systems. For batch installations of multiple systems,
use custom JumpStart or the Solaris Flash installation feature.

|
Install one system over a local area network.
|
Solaris installation program over the network
|
This program enables you to set up an image of the software you want
to install on a server and install this image on a remote system. If you need
to install multiple systems, you can use the network installation image with
the custom JumpStart and Solaris Flash installation methods to efficiently
install or upgrade systems on your network.
|
Part II, Installing Over a Local Area Network
|
Automate the installation or upgrade of multiple systems based on profiles
you create.
|
Custom JumpStart
|
This program efficiently installs multiple systems. But if you only
have a few systems, the creation of a custom JumpStart environment might be
time consuming. For a few systems, use the Solaris interactive installation
program.

|
Replicate the same software and configuration on multiple systems.
|
Solaris Flash archives
|
-
This program saves installation time by installing all Solaris
packages at once on your system. Other programs install each individual Solaris
package and update the package map for each package.
-
Solaris Flash archives are large files and require a significant
amount of disk space. To manage different installation configurations or to
change your installation configuration, you might consider using the custom
JumpStart installation method. Alternatively, you can accomplish system-specific
customizations by using a JumpStart finish script or an embedded Solaris Flash postdeployment
script.

|
Install systems over a wide area network (WAN) or the Internet.
|
WAN boot
|
If you want to install a Solaris Flash archive over the network, this
program enables a secure installation.

Upgrade a system while it is running.
|
Solaris Live Upgrade
|
-
This program enables you to upgrade or add patches to avoid
the system down time related to a standard upgrade
-
This program enables you to test an upgrade or new patches
without affecting the current OS
|
Chapter 6, Solaris Live Upgrade (Overview), in Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Solaris Live Upgrade and Upgrade Planning
|
After installing the Solaris OS, create an isolated application environment.
|
Solaris Zones partitioning technology
|
This program creates isolated non-global zones that provide a secure
application environment. This isolation prevents processes that are running
in one zone from monitoring or affecting processes that are running in any
other zones.
