Synopsis

/usr/bin/usbcopy image

Description

The usbcopy command enables users to deploy removable USB stick with Oracle Solaris USB install image created by Distribution Constructor. The USB stick can later be used to install Oracle Solaris OS.

The usbcopy command supports deployment of both SPARC and x86 install images. The deployment process is platform independent. For example, SPARC install image can be deployed on both SPARC and x86 machines. During the operation, data written to the USB stick is verified, thus broken USB sticks are detected.
