system to use the distribution constructor. |
Oracle Solaris release |
You must have the Oracle Solaris
operating system (OS) installed on your system. Note the following considerations.
- Your installed system must have network access. The distribution constructor accesses Image Packaging System (IPS) repositories that are available on the network to retrieve packages for the ISO image. You must have network access to the repositories that you specify in the manifest file.
When using the distribution constructor, you can only create SPARC images on a SPARC system and x86 images on an x86 system.
The Oracle Solaris release version on your system must be the same as the release version of the images that you use with the distribution constructor.
Note - You must become
