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.
