Explanation:
The graphical installer is officially known as the “Live Media.” This means that
Oracle Solaris can be booted into RAM, causing zero impact on your existing operating system.
After it is loaded, you are free to experiment with Oracle Solaris to determine whether it is
something you would like to install to your system.
You can download Oracle Solaris 11 Live Media for x86, which is an approximately 800 MB image
file, and use a DVD burner to create the disk, or you can use the ISO image directly in a virtual
machine or through the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Remote Console.
The Live Media is not intended for long-term use. For example, any changes that you make to the
system are lost when the system is shut down. Therefore, the next logical step is to install Oracle
Solaris on the system, which the Live Media makes easy by placing an Install Oracle Solaris icon
right on the desktop. But before we head down that road, let’s step back a bit and consider the
installation options.
Note: The Live Media provides administrators with an opportunity to explore the Oracle Solaris 11
environment without installing it on a system. The system boots off the media directly allowing
administrators to start the installer should they choose to install it to a system.
