How to Directly Install a Kernel Zone

  1. On the kernel zone host, become an administrator.
  2. Install the kernel zone.
    global$ pfbash zoneadm -z kzone install

    Note:

    If a direct installation fails after zone verification, confirm that the publishers on the global zone have all of the required package components. See Troubleshooting Local Package Repositories in Creating Package Repositories in Oracle Solaris 11.4 for more information.
  3. Review the installation logs.

    For their location, see Installing a Kernel Zone.

  4. Boot the kernel zone.
    global$ zoneadm -z kzone boot

    You can now log in to the zone. Oracle Solaris provides several login methods. The methods for kernel zones are identical to the methods for non-global zones. What you are going to do in the zone determines your login method. See How to Create and Deploy a Non-Global Zone in Creating and Using Oracle Solaris Zones.

Example 3-1 Installing a Kernel Zone Using Direct Installation

This example shows a successful direct installation of the kernel zone kzone1.
