As far as I know, there is no direct equivilent to Ignite for Solaris. The closest you're going to get is Jumpstart, which allows you to restore default configurations (filesystems, sizing, packages, OS options and so on) but strictly speaking does not allow you to take a snapshot of the whole system at a point in time and restore that image when desired.

That being said, a combination of Jumpstart (remotely restore OS and basic configuration) and ufsdump/ufsrestore tapes might serve your purposes.

Take a look at http://docs.sun.com/ and search "jumpstart".
