Enabling Remote Installation Manager
This feature will allow connection to the SBAdmin System Installation Process from any remote system. With
proper authority, a remote user can connect to, diagnose and perform system installation of a system after that
system has been booted from the SBAdmin boot media. This process may be started from the SBAdmin
interface on a Network Administrator system, or from any SSH client application. Therefore, installation of even
a Workstation Edition system may be managed remotely.
The remote user will be required to enter a password to access the system installation process. This password
may have been defined when the boot media was created or may be defined in the system installation menus
after booting from the media.
