    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.
