You can also try the remote management - if there is a way to
pass it an ISO image from your mgmt workstation (at least some
servers do have "Virtual DVD-ROM" via IPMI).

Alternatively, you can try networked boot (PXE) and an AI image
(auto-install) of OpenIndiana, but you'd have to read up on
installing the installation server, serving AI images and all
that. I did not do AI installs, so can't help directly ;(

If you do manage that, and if you find the Wiki instructions
lacking, please consider updating them so the next people know
what to do :)

I know of these pages:
