When you install the Oracle Solaris OS, choose the media that installs the appropriate group package:
Oracle Solaris Large Server – The default manifest in an Automated Installer (AI) installation and the text installer install the group/system/solaris-large-server group, which provides an Oracle Solaris large server environment.
Oracle Solaris Desktop – The Live Media installs the group/system/solaris-desktop group, which provides an Oracle Solaris 11 desktop environment.
To create a desktop system for centralized use, add the group/feature/multi-user-desktop group to an Oracle Solaris server. For more information, see the article Optimizing the Oracle Solaris 11 Desktop for a Multiuser Environment.
For automated installation using the Automated Installer (AI), see Part III, Installing Using an Install Server, in Installing Oracle Solaris 11 Systems.
