When conducting an installation using Live Media (such as the Live DVD image, for example), the
system boots into console mode because the system’s graphics card is not supported by the
contents of the Live Media. In lieu of downloading and using the Text Installer image, you opt to
perform installation using a second system. Do both systems have to be on the same subnet in
order for this method of installation to succeed?

How to Install Oracle Solaris From the Live Media If Your System Boots in Console
Mode
For this procedure, two networked systems are required: the system on which the Live Media was
booted (target system) and a remote system from which the installation will be performed. Both
systems must have network access. The two systems are not required to be on the same subnet.
However, the target system must be reachable from the remote system. Also, the remote system
must be running an OS that supports a graphical desktop.
Note:
*If your system’s graphics card is not supported by the Live Media or your system does not have a
graphics card, the system boots in console mode when you insert the Live Media. In this case, you
cannot perform a GUI installation.
Your two alternatives are as follows:
You can run the text installer on the local console without network access.
