Use this procedure to install the OS locally or remotely using CD/DVD/USB installation media or ISO image.
Before You Begin
Review Oracle Solaris OS installation documentation:
Oracle Solaris 11.1: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/solaris-11-192991.html
You should have already selected your BIOS boot mode (Legacy or UEFI) as described in Preparing to Install the OS.
You should have already done the preparation for a local or remote installation as described in Preparing to Install the OS. Then perform one of the following:
Local installation: Have the OS distribution media available to insert into the attached physical CD/DVD-ROM drive or USB port.
Remote installation: If your OS distribution media is a CD/DVD or USB image, insert it into the remote client's DVD-ROM drive or USB port and mount it through the Oracle ILOM Remote Console KVMS > Storage menu.
If you are using an ISO image of the OS distribution media, ensure that the image is mounted through the Oracle ILOM Remote Console KVMS > Storage menu.
If you are using the remote installation method, you can power on or reboot the server through Oracle ILOM.
BIOS messages display.
After a delay, a "select boot device" menu appears with a list of possible boot devices.
For a local installation, select the Solaris distribution media from the list of devices and press Enter.
For a remote installation, select the client's remotely mounted virtual CD/DVD drive or USB image from the list of devices and press Enter.
Control passes to the OS installation program on the media.
