AI automates the installation of the Oracle Solaris OS on one or more SPARC or x86 clients in a network. The clients can differ in architecture, disk and memory capacity, and other characteristics. The installations can differ in network configuration, packages installed, and other specifications.

An automated installation of a client in a local network consists of the following high-level steps:

Characteristics of the client determine which AI service and which installation instructions are used to install the client.
