How to Install the Oracle Solaris OS on a Guest Domain From an Oracle Solaris ISO File
- Stop and unbind the guest domain (
ldg1
).primary# ldm stop ldg1 primary# ldm unbind ldg1
- Add the Oracle Solaris ISO file as a secondary volume and virtual disk.
The following example uses
solarisdvd.iso
as the Oracle Solaris ISO file,iso_vol@primary-vds0
as a secondary volume, andvdisk_iso
as a virtual disk:primary# ldm add-vdsdev /export/solarisdvd.iso iso_vol@primary-vds0 primary# ldm add-vdisk vdisk_iso iso_vol@primary-vds0 ldg1
- Verify that the Oracle Solaris ISO file is added as a secondary volume and virtual disk.

- Bind and start the guest domain (
ldg1
).primary# ldm bind ldg1 primary# ldm start-domain 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 ..
- Show the device aliases in the client OpenBoot PROM.
In this example, see the device aliases for
vdisk_iso
, which is the Oracle Solaris ISO image, andvdisk_install
, which is the disk space.ok devalias vdisk_iso /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
- On the guest domain's console, boot from
vdisk_iso
(disk@1
) on slicef
.ok boot vdisk_iso:f 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 (c) 1983-2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
