For this procedure, two networked systems are required: the system on which the live CD was booted (target system) and a remote system, from which the installation will be performed. Both systems must have network access. It is not required that the two systems be on the same subnet. However, the target system must be reachable from the remote system. Also, the remote system must be running an OS that supports a graphical desktop.
The default user login and password for Oracle Solaris is jack.
$ su root Password: solaris
The root password is solaris.
# svcadm enable ssh
# ifconfig -a
$ ssh -X ip-address-of-target -l jack
where ip-address-of-target is the output of the ifconfig -a command that you ran on the target system.
Running this command on the remote system opens a secure shell, enabling you to access the target system to use the GUI installer.
$ su root Password: solaris
# /bin/gui-install
You can switch from the default graphical boot screen to the text boot screen. The ability to switch to the text boot screen can be useful if you suspect that the system startup process is not proceeding normally. The text screen might contain informational messages or a request for user input. Switching to the text boot screen has no impact on the boot sequence, other than how the information is displayed on the screen. Initialization of the operating system continues and completes as normal.
To switch to a text boot, press any key a few seconds after the graphical boot screen appears, and the progress bar starts.
Note - After switching from the graphical boot to a text boot, there is no way to switch back to the graphical boot screen.
