I would like to not be installing, but unfortunately have no real choice. Is there no way to do this from console? I have a fully functioning remote console session and can log in using putty (this is a viable replacement for hypterterminal right?) over a virtual COM port. In addition, I can also log in using SSH. I had hoped this would allow me to work on installing (which I imagine will take several attempts) without having to drive to the server, which is a sizable if not impractical distance away.
As far as patches/subscriptions, this is a test/demo server on a private network only accessible by VPN. Thus far it has been used only for internal testing purposes although we do eventually intend to use it to demo the application for prospective clients. At any rate, the utmost security and newest patches are not really a concern and the immediate goal is just to get something up and running. If a downloaded ISO of an install CD from oracle.com can do that I'll be happy. My only real concern is that I re-install over the server and then learn a month from now that there was some unknown Solaris product key buried in a file somewhere that I have irrevocably destroyed.

virt-viewer
VIRT-VIEWER(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation VIRT-VIEWER(1)
NAME
virt-viewer - display the graphical console for a virtual machine
SYNOPSIS
virt-viewer [OPTIONS] DOMAIN-NAME|ID|UUID
DESCRIPTION
virt-viewer is a minimal tool for displaying the graphical console of a virtual machine. The console is accessed using the VNC or SPICE
protocol. The guest can be referred to based on its name, ID, or UUID. If the guest is not already running, then the viewer can be told to
wait until is starts before attempting to connect to the console The viewer can connect to remote hosts to lookup the console information
and then also connect to the remote console using the same network transport.
OPTIONS
The following options are accepted when running "virt-viewer":
-h, --help
Display command line help summary
-V, --version
Display program version number
-v, --verbose
Display information about the connection
-c URI, --connect=URI
Specify the hypervisor connection URI
-w, --wait
Wait for the domain to start up before attempting to connect to the console
-r, --reconnect
Automatically reconnect to the domain if it shuts down and restarts
-z PCT, --zoom=PCT
Zoom level of the display window in percentage. Range 10-200.
-d, --direct
Do not attempt to tunnel the console over SSH, even if the main connection URI used SSH.
-a, --attach
Use libvirt to directly attach to a local display, instead of making a TCP/UNIX socket connection. This avoids the need to
authentication with the remote display, if authentication with libvirt is already allowed. This option does not work with remote
displays.
-f, --full-screen
Start with the window maximised to fullscreen
--debug
Print debugging information
EXAMPLES
To connect to the guest called 'demo' running under Xen
virt-viewer demo
To connect to the guest with ID 7 running under QEMU
virt-viewer --connect qemu:///system 7
To wait for the guest with UUID 66ab33c0-6919-a3f7-e659-16c82d248521 to startup and then connect, also reconnecting upon restart of VM
virt-viewer --reconnect --wait 66ab33c0-6919-a3f7-e659-16c82d248521
To connect to a remote console using TLS
virt-viewer --connect xen://example.org/ demo
To connect to a remote host using SSH, lookup the guest config and then make a direct non-tunnelled connection of the console
virt-viewer --direct --connect xen+ssh://root@example.org/ demo
