PXE Installation

An automated installation image enables you to perform the OS installation on multiple servers. By using an automated image, you can ensure configuration uniformity among many systems. Automated installations use a PXE technology to enable the clients without an operating system to boot remotely to the automated installation server that installs the operating system.

  1. Configure the network server to export the installation using a PXE boot.

  2. Make the OS installation media available for PXE boot.

    If you are using an automated OS installation image, you need to create and provide the automated OS installation image, for example the Solaris Jump Start Image.

  3. To boot the installation media, select the PXE boot interface card as the temporary boot device.

    For details, see the applicable PXE-based operating system installation procedure.
