Downloading the Image File

Language:

From the Oracle Solaris Unified Archives page, you can download either a USB image or a UAR image. With either image, you can use a variety of installation methods to create the single-node configuration depending on the target of your installation:

Bare metal target.
- Installation by using an Automated Installer network service.
- Installation by using a USB image that is generated from a Unified Archive with the archiveadm command(1M).
- Indirect installation by using the Oracle Solaris Automated Installer Boot Image and combined with the Unified Archive.
Kernel zone target - installation by using standard zone commands.

For simplification purposes, this chapter focuses on two installation methods. Each method has a specific target for installation.

Installing the Unified Archive on bare metal by using an Automated Installer network service.
Installing the Unified Archive in a kernel zone by using zone commands.

Note - This chapter provides general installation procedures. For detailed instructions, refer to the README file that is associated with the archive. For more information about Oracle Solaris installation methods, refer to the installation books in your Oracle Solaris version's library.
