To install Oracle Solaris 11 without using an IPS AutoInstall server on the network, you can use Oracle Solaris media in a DVD drive, either built into the server or attached to a USB port. You also can boot from an ISO image copied to a DVD disk, hard disk, or SSD.
Starting with Oracle Solaris 11.2 and System Firmware 8.5.1.b, you can install the OS on this server from an image copied to a USB flash drive. That USB image is available for download at the same location as the ISO images:

You also can create a persistent device alias for a device connected to a USB port.
For more information see “Installing Oracle Solaris 11.2 Systems” at:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01
You can boot Oracle Solaris 11 from drives installed in the server (hard disk, SDD, or DVD) or from devices connected to a USB port.
For the path to identify a USB port in a boot command, refer to this table:
