[OpenIndiana-discuss] How to create an installer/ bootable recovery iso from a running system?

[Guenther Alka]

Question:

Is it possible to create a bootable iso installer from a configured and
at best online from a running system (that works then like the regular
OS iso installer)?

Intention is to reinstall the fully configued Oi/OmniOS from this iso
for disaster recovery with the help of the regular installer process.

I have done this in the past with a Linux appliance where this was part
of the distribution and where you are able to create a bootable
installer DVD on the fly to restore the system after a crash or to go
back to a former state. Simple and genious. A bootable USB stick can be
easily created from the iso with the Rufus tool.

Perhaps it might be worth considering saving a ZFS Snapshot in a remote
location for a restore solution or exploring barman for a database solution
