This procedure describes how to boot the Oracle Solaris operating system (OS) installation from local or remote media. It assumes that you are booting the installation media from one of the following sources:
Oracle Solaris ISO image on a DVD
Oracle Solaris ISO image on a network repository
For an ISO image on a DVD, insert the DVD into the local or remote DVD drive.
For an ISO image on the network, ensure that the Oracle Solaris ISO image is available and that the ISO image has been mounted in the Oracle ILOM Remote System Console Plus application using the KVMS menu.
For additional information about how to set up the install media, see Selecting the Boot Media Option.
