Installing a Kernel Zone

Before you can install a kernel zone, you must configure it as described in Configuring Oracle Solaris Kernel Zones. After configuration, you can choose the appropriate zone installation method:

• Create one kernel zone that is identical to the global zone configuration – Directly Installing a Kernel Zone

• Create multiple kernel zones with identical requirements – Using an AI Manifest to Install a Kernel Zone

• Create multiple kernel zones with identical requirements – Using a sysconfig Profile to Install a Kernel Zone

• Duplicate an existing zone, or duplicate and modify an existing zone – Using an Installation Image to Install a Kernel Zone

• Copy an existing installed zone from your system and add the copy to your system – Cloning a Kernel Zone

During zone installation, a log is recorded in two locations. The contents of the logs are the same.

• In the global zone in the /var/log/zones/ directory

• In the installed zone in the /zones/zonename/root/var/log/zones/ directory
