Feb 20, 2019 I need to install an operating system onto a Hyper-V virtual machine via a bootable USB flash drive. I am not using an ISO file. It has to be from this bootable USB flash. This is when the install is on the Solaris machine; In order to use the USB stick as a boot media, you will need to have the OpenBoot version higher than 4.27 (when you get to the ok prompt you see the banner that tells you your Open Boot version).
Download the requisite Solaris OS image from Oracle here. You may need to create a free account first.
Sep 06, 2008 Installing Solaris from a USB Disk. Set up an 8GB 'Solaris2' partition on the USB drive using fdisk. Make it the active partition. Set up a UFS slice using all but the first cylinder of that 8GB as slice 0 using format. The first cylinder ends up being. Mount the DVD ISO using.
Note that if you are building a SPARC server e.g. T8-2, it comes with Solaris pre-installed. You should start with this document here, connecting to the ILOM System Console via the SER MGT Port using the instructions here.
Install Solaris From Usb
The instructions from Oracle are as follows, but I don’t like the way they say to use dmesg | tail to identify the USB device when lsusb to identify the make and model and df -h to identify the device name provide much clearer, humanly readable output.
- On Linux:
- Insert the flash drive and locate the appropriate device.
- Copy the image.

Pkg Install Solaris
For other client operating systems such as Solaris itself or MacOSX, instructions from Oracle can be found here. Istat view 3 03 download free.
In my case, the USB stick was mounted to /dev/sdg1 automatically when plugged into Linux desktop, so I unmounted /dev/sdg1 then changed to the directory containing my Solaris 11 image, then used dd as shown in the screenshot below.
The commands are therefore,

df -h to Identify the USB device e.g. /dev/sdg
sudo umount /dev/sdg1 to unmount the filesystem on the USB device
Obtaining Media For The X86 Platform
cd ~/Downloads/Solaris11 to change to the location of your downloaded image file
sudo dd if=sol-11_3.usb of=/dev/sdg bs=16k to write it to the USB device
Since dd is a block level, not a file level copy, you don’t need to make the USB device bootable or anything like that. That’s all contained in the blocks copied to the device.
