Install Solaris OS on a Guest Domain From a DVD

1. Insert the Solaris 10 OS DVD into the DVD drive.

2. Stop the volume management daemon, vold(1M) on the primary domain.

   primary# svcadm disable volfs

3. Stop and unbind the guest domain (ldg1). Then add the DVD with DVDROM media as a secondary volume (dvd_vol@primary-vds0) and virtual disk (vdisk_cd_media), for example.

   c0t0d0s2 is where the Solaris OS media resides

   primary# ldm stop ldg1 primary# ldm unbind ldg1 primary# ldm add-vdsdev /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 dvd_vol@primary-vds0 primary# ldm add-vdisk vdisk_cd_media dvd_vol@primary-vds0 ldg1

4. Check to see that the DVD is added as a secondary volume and virtual disk.

   primary# ldm list-bindings NAME STATE FLAGS CONS VCPU MEMORY UTIL UPTIME primary active -n-cv SP 4 4G 0.2% 22h 45m ...

DISK   NAME VOLUME TOUT DEVICE SERVER   vdisk1 vol1@primary-vds0   vdisk_cd_media dvd_vol@primary-vds0 ....

5. Bind and start the guest domain (ldg1).

   primary# ldm bind ldg1 primary# ldm start ldg1 LDom ldg1 started primary# telnet localhost 5000 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.   Connecting to console "ldg1" in group "ldg1" .... Press ~? for control options ..

6. Show the device aliases in the client OpenBoot^TM PROM.

   In this example, see the device aliases for vdisk_cd_media, which is the Solaris DVD, and vdisk1, which is a virtual disk on which you can install the Solaris OS.

   ok devalias vdisk_cd_media  /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@1 vdisk1          /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@0 vnet1           /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/network@0 virtual-console /virtual-devices/console@1 name            aliases

7. On the guest domain's console, boot from vdisk_cd_media (disk@1) on slice f.

   ok boot vdisk_cd_media:f -v Boot device: /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@1:f File and args: -s SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_139555-08 64-bit Copyright 1983-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms.

8. Continue with the Solaris OS installation menu.
