Absolutely. The server is backward-compatible. We're talking about running on (booting) the kernel of the release that does not match the release you're trying to install. We're not talking about whether the AI server will work to install older (or newer) releases. But, now that you brought it up, there will be no problem. An AI server upgrade will be required to install S11 Update 1 (if you want to use installadm; there are ways around that if you have to run your install server on an S10 or non-Solaris system). --S > > -BP > > > On 6/8/12 3:17 PM, Seth Goldberg wrote: >> >> >> >> Quoting Sue Sohn, who wrote the following on Fri, 8 Jun 2012: >> >>> Booting from an AI service can result in different Solaris versions being >>> installed on the client.
