Using VMware virtual machines to install the x86 architecture for Solaris 11.3

Solaris is an operating system developed by Sun/oracle, supporting the x86 architecture and SPARC architecture, and is primarily used in the server domain. In practice, it is usually installed on the server by the terminal connection and the command line method.

Solairs:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/install-2245079.html

In this page we can see that there are three types of installation images, the first type is the text installation (Installer), this is not a graphical interface. The second category is the live media installation, which has a graphical interface and can experience some of the functionality without installing it. The third type is the auto-install image (automated Installer boot image), which is installed automatically after the server initiates the image. Under each category are the SPARC architecture and the x86 architecture. Servers use a SPARC architecture, and our average PC is generally a x86 architecture. USB mirroring and ISO mirroring are also divided under each schema. These are two different ways to install. Choose as you want.

Here we choose the ISO image under Live media, the x86 live media with the red box in the figure, download requires login to Oracle account, free registration one can be downloaded.
