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.

Solaris 10 6/06 Installation Guide: Basic Installations
|
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.

Chapter 1, Solaris Flash (Overview), in Solaris 10 6/06 Installation Guide: Solaris Flash Archives (Creation and Installation)
|
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 6/06 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.
