Operating Systems Solaris Fresh install of solaris 10 using an ISO Post 302361139 by DukeNuke2 on Monday 12th of October 2009 10:45:34 AM

you can do this on the newer servers with an ILOM interface but not with a SF6800. i've never done this but there should be a WAN-boot option within jumpstart so you can boot a server over http. but you'll need a jumpstart server on the other end of the line.

one option you can maybe use is to setup a new domain inside the 6800 and use the old domain as a jumstart server. after installing the new solaris in the new domain you can add the remaining SB and IB board to the new domain and destroy the old one. but you need a minimum of two SB and IB boards to do this.
