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.
