How to Install a Kernel Zone From an Installation Image

Review the requirements and guidelines in Using an Installation Image to Install a Kernel Zone.
Ensure that the installation image is accessible to the system you use to install the kernel zone.

During an Oracle Solaris installation from an ISO file, the kernel zone is booted and you are connected to the zone console. For how to use the zone console, see How to Create and Deploy a Non-Global Zone in Creating and Using Oracle Solaris Zones.

Caution:

If you exit or disconnect from the kernel zone console before the installation is complete, the installation fails.

On the kernel zone host, become an administrator.

For more information, see Using Rights Profiles to Install and Manage Zones in Creating and Using Oracle Solaris Zones.
Install the kernel zone by using the Oracle Solaris installation image.
```
global$ pfbash zoneadm -z kzone install -b path-to-iso-file
```
Review the installation logs.

For their location, see Installing a Kernel Zone.
