How to Install the Oracle Solaris OS on a Guest Domain From an Oracle Solaris ISO File


  1. Stop and unbind the guest domain (ldg1).
    primary# ldm stop ldg1
    primary# ldm unbind ldg1
  2. Add the Oracle Solaris ISO file as a secondary volume and virtual disk.

    The following uses solarisdvd.iso as the Oracle Solaris ISO file, iso_vol@primary-vds0 as a secondary volume, and vdisk_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

    The following uses solarisdvd.iso as the Oracle Solaris ISO file, which is stored on the server1 server. iso_vol@primary-vds0 is a secondary volume, and vdisk_isois a virtual disk. The lofiadm command attaches a block device to the ISO image.

    primary# lofiadm -a /net/server1/solarisdvd.iso
    primary# ldm add-vdsdev /dev/lofi/1 iso_vol@primary-vds0
    primary# ldm add-vdisk vdisk_iso iso_vol@primary-vds0 ldg1
  3. Check to see that the Oracle Solaris ISO file is added as a secondary volume and virtual disk.
    primary# ldm list-bindings

      vdisk_iso iso_vol@primary-vds0

  4. Bind and start the guest domain (ldg1).
    primary# ldm bind ldg1
    primary# ldm start ldg1
    LDom ldg1 started
    primary# telnet localhost 5000

    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
     
    Connecting to console "ldg1" in group "ldg1" ....
    Press ~? for control options ..
  5. 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, and vdisk_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
  6. On the guest domain's console, boot from vdisk_iso (disk@1) on slice f.
    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
