- This video show you how to install oracle solaris 11.3 to a usb drive in a very simple way.
- Installing and Booting Oracle Solaris 11 From Devices Connected to a USB Port. To install Oracle Solaris without using an IPS AutoInstall server on the network, you can use Oracle Solaris media in a DVD drive. The DVD drive can be built into the server or attached to a USB port. You also can boot from an ISO image copied to a DVD disk, hard drive, or SSD.
I needed to install Solaris 10 x86 on a 64-bit system for testing some 64-bit compatibility issues in an existing app/system, and my Dell laptop was as good a choice as any. However, since it has a small HD and no spare partitions on it nor any capability for a 2nd HD the only choice was to try and install it on an external USB hard drive and boot off of the external USB-attached HD.
Since I came across very little information on whether or not such a setup was possible or even any information about how easy or difficult the process would be, I thought I’d document my experience of installing Solaris 10 x86 on an external USB hard drive. In a nutshell, Solaris 10 x86 5/09 (also known as Solaris 10 x86 U7 or Update 7) is easy to install and boot off of an external USB HD.
My setup was as follows:
- Dell Latitude D830 laptop with an Intel Core2Duo CPU and NVidia graphics
- 80Gb Maxtor IDE hard drive (6L080P0) inside a Vantec NexStar 2 3.5″ IDE to USB 2.0 external hard drive enclosure
Installing Solaris 10 x86 from USB flash drive Dear friends, I have the DVD image of solaris 10 but I don't have DVD writer to burn it onto a dvd R. I was wondering if I could install Solaris from my 4gb usb flash drive as my PC supports booting from usb.
I used the latest version of Solaris 10 x86 available, which as of June 09 was Solaris 10 x86 5/09 (U7), and used the full installation DVD.
Prior to booting from the Solaris 10 x86 installation DVD:
- Make sure that your system supports booting from an external USB (storage) device otherwise this will be an exercise in testing the Solaris 10 installer!
- Make sure to run the Sun Device Detection Tool from whatever OS is installed on your system, as it will give you a very accurate indication of hardware device driver issues both before and after the installation.
- Make sure that the USB HD to install to has no existing partitions on it i.e. it should appear as unformatted, unpartitioned space to the installer. I used Windows XP’s Disk Management tool (“Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management”, then “Storage -> Disk Management”) to delete existing partitions on my external USB HD.
The steps to install Solaris 10 x86 on an external USB HD go something like this:
- Power up the external USB HD and make sure it is connected to one of the USB ports on your system. Pop in the Solaris 10 x86 installation media and (re)boot the system.
- Proceed through the Solaris 10 installation screens/options as needed. In the “Disk Selection” step of the installation, make sure that the boot disk (the internal IDE/SATA disk of your host system) is NOT in the list of “Selected Disks” on which to lay out the file systems. Remove the “bootdisk” entry from the “Selected Disks” list, and instead make sure to select the other disk listed in the “Available Disks” list which should be the external USB HDD. We want to make sure that Solaris is not installed to the system’s internal IDE/SATA hard disk. Unfortunately, the Solaris 10 intaller doesn’t make this step as easy as one would hope: the entries in the “Selected Disks” list are the Solaris-specific device names (c0t0d0s0, etc.) instead of more descriptive and useful entries e.g. with the HD model, which would make it easier to identify which disk is the internal one and which one is the external USB HD. The only way that I had to verify that I had chosen the correct disk on which to install Solaris 10 x86 was by the “Selected disk space” amount that is is shown on this installer screen as it corresponded exactly to the size of the IDE HD in my external USB enclosure: 76285Mb ~= 80Gb!
- On the “Customize fdisk Partitions” step of the installer, a Solaris partition equal to the entire size of the disk (76285Mb for my USB HD) will be created by default. Accept this and proceed to the next step.
- You can either accept the default file systems lay out chosen by the Installer or you can create a customized file system lay out. I chose a customized file system layout with separate /tmp, /usr, /home, and /var partitions. Proceed ahead to the next step.
No choice or option was given regarding Grub or whether or not it should be installed to the MBR of the USB drive, etc. but thankfully the Solaris 10 u7 installer did the Right Thing ™ and correctly installed Grub to the USB HD’s MBR and even added an entry for my existing Windows XP install on the laptop’s internal SATA drive.
Install Solaris 11 Sparc From Usb
I just had to make sure that I selected the one-time “Boot Menu” option after the laptop had POSTed so that the option to boot from a “USB Storage Device” was presented, and then I was able to boot this fresh Solaris 10 install from the USB HD. Otherwise, the system will go through its default boot process.
Solaris 10 x86 was installed without a hitch onto my external USB HD and boots off of it without any problem. There was one post-install problem: my Dell D830’s D830’s built-in Gigabit
ethernet adapter (NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI express)was not recognized by Solaris 10 x86 and hence I had no network connectivity. Had I paid attention to the results from the Sun Device Detection Tool (which I ran before I began the installation process) I would have noticed that my laptop’s built-in ethernet adapter was flagged as NOT having built-in support by Solaris 10 (but a 3rd party Solaris driver was available for it).

I was able to fix the ethernet adapter driver issue, and I’ll post the steps needed to make it work under Solaris 10 x86 in another post.
Install Solaris 11.4 Vmware
Other than this one post-install issue, I have not run into any other issues with the Solaris 10 x86 5/09 install on my external USB HD.
There is one caveat worth mentioning: when booting Solaris 10 x86 ALWAYS make sure that your external USB HD is plugged into the same USB port on your system that you used when Solaris 10 x86 was intially installed. If you happen to connect your USB HD into another USB port on the same system, the Solaris boot process will mysteriously abort without giving any error message or indication of any kind! This is usually not an issue for desktops or workstations but is more of an issue for laptops due to their mobile nature and also since they typically have fewer USB ports.
