Use Host Storage Device feature in Oracle ILOM to either: 1) mount a storage image from an NFS, SAMBA, or SSHFS server and redirect it as an attached host storage device or, 2) configure the service processor (SP) to make the Oracle Solaris Miniroot package that is installed on the SP available to the host on the managed server.
An NFS, SAMBA, or SSHFS redirection configuration is helpful when you want to boot your server from a single file that is currently stored on a remote NFS, SAMBA, or SSHFS server. A Miniroot redirection configuration is useful for when you want to restore the Oracle Solaris Miniroot package from the Oracle ILOM SP.
