How to create a fully-patched Solaris 11.4 x86 USB Text Installer?

in Oracle Solaris Installation, Booting and Patching (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓

Hi all,

when trying to install Solaris 11.4 by booting the USB Text Installer on a new Dell PowerEdge R640, I run into a kernel panic ("xc_serv() timeout on master CPUx"). When looking for this error message, I found Doc ID 2561530.1 in Oracle's support database. In my case, there isn't any link to VirtualBox, but the error message is exactly the same.

Nevertheless, according to Doc ID 2561530.1, the problem could maybe fixed in Solaris 11.4 SRU 19.

My question is: Is there any document about creating an updated USB Text Installer image with a recent SRU, e.g. SRU 27? I have access to an x64 server running Solaris 11.4 SRU 27, but what are the steps to compose an updated boot image? Is there any script I could maybe run on the running server?
