Note - For information on versions of the Oracle Solaris OS, including installation, see the appropriate Oracle Solaris Documentation Collection at the Oracle Documentation web site.
Depending on the blade server’s hardware configuration, the blade server can be used as a diskless client with the Oracle Solaris OS installed on a boot server (see Create a Boot Server for Diskless Clients). The OS can be downloaded to a boot device like a Sun Netra CP32x0 ARTM or CF.
