I wanted to install Solaris 11 on a SPARC T5-2 Server that was located in another location. I had the ISO image of the Solaris 11 media on my laptop. I accessed ILOM via a web browser.
Then I click on "Redirection", "Use serial redirection", "Launch remote Console".
An windows appears and I click on KVMS->Storage, add the image by using add button and click "Connect".
I get ok prompt and type command: devalias. but I don't see any rcdrom here.
I also test command boot rcdrom and What happened is that It's show a lot of messages with the same content: "requesting internet address for 0:10:e0:57:15:3e".
Pls help me :). thanks

I'm not sure how such a device will show up; likely not with devaliases
but you should walk the device tree (from the prom)
Surely, this must be documented how you boot from the disks mounted
through the ILOM.

But TBH it fails more often than it succeeds. It will be quicker if he
sets up an AI server (in a VM if his laptop is not running solaris)

In article <m0jpa9$lfj$1...@dont-email.me>,
keep timing out due to slow CD access, and you will spend an hour or
two repeatedly clearing them until you get enough of the system up to
load an image into the local drives.
I've had to do this a few times when it was the only way to install a
remote system. It needs a boot-time option to disable all SMF timeouts,
or that needs to be the default for the installation system's miniroot.

Yes, it's very difficult to do it across a WAN - all the SMF services

This may be the fault of the NNTP server. I once answered a very old
query and did not know it was old until you pointed it out. (I never
check the dates.)

A couple months ago in this very newsgroup somebody replied to a thread

about converting K&R C to ANSI C. The original post was from 1992! So
the record is at least 30 years.

Good to see some of us still listen/read on here.
Not seen a good query for a while though
