Complete the actions in this procedure before you perform a text installation.
To download the Oracle Solaris text installer ISO image, go to https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/index.html. This site also includes USB images that can be used on removable media.
After you download the image, copy the image to removable media for a USB image or to an accessible file system for an ISO image. For USB images, you can use the dd or the usbcopy command. Here is an example of how to make a copy with the dd command:
# dd bs=16k conv=sync if=<image path> of=/dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0
See System Requirements for Live Media and Text Installations.
In particular, if you are planning to set up and install Oracle Solaris on a partition or slice and have not done so yet, review the information in Guidelines for Partitioning a System Prior To Installation.
