Installer Options

Option
Description
–a
Location of archive from which to copy system image. Full flash archive and pax, cpio, gzip compressed cpio, bzip compressed cpio, and level 0 ufsdump are supported.
–c path
Pass a sysidcfg file to use in configuring the zone after the install completes.
–d path
Location of directory from which to copy system image.
–d
Use the –d option with the dash parameter to direct that the existing directory layout be used in the zonepath. Thus, if the administrator manually sets up the zonepath directory before the installation, the –d option can be used to indicate that the directory already exists.
–p
Preserve system identity.
Either the –p or the –u must be used.
–s
Install silently.
–u
sys-unconfig the zone.
Either the –p or the –u must be used.
The –c can be used in addition to the –u option, to pass in a sysidcfg file to use in configuring the zone after the installation completes.
–v
Verbose output.

The –a and –d options are mutually exclusive.
