Oracle Solaris operating system

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 create only SPARC images on a SPARC system
and only x86 images on an x86 system.
-
The Oracle Solaris release version on your system must be the same as the release version of
the image that you intend to create with the distribution constructor.
Note -
You must assume the root role to run the distribution constructor.
