convert windows OS as Solaris remotely
I have a Windows 2000 Terminal, which I want to convert into Solaris 10. I am connected to windows terminal remotely via iLO and then inserted the solaris DVD in my local drive. Now when I connect to Windows machine from 'RDP' - I can see local DVD in there - and IF I then reboot remote machine again its connecting as windows. Is there a way that I could make the remote windows machine as of Solaris OS remotely by having DVD inserted in my local PC?

Thank you!

I could manage to get the System booted via iLO for Solaris installation and while following the installation instructions - Its giving problem at the question of 'Specify Media' - I selected CD/DVD and it came out saying error 'no disks found' even though disks are there available locally in my PC.
