Boot Over the Network (PXE)
PXE network boot is an environment for booting computers using a network interface
independently of available data storage devices (such as hard disks) or installed OS. No boot
media is required on the client system. With PXE, you can install an OS on an x86-based client
over the network by using DHCP.
Boot over the network using PXE.
Refer to the booting with PXE instructions in “Booting a System From the Network” in Booting
and Shutting Down Oracle Solaris 11.3 Systems.
