How to Install the Oracle Solaris OS on a Guest Domain From a DVD


  1. Insert the Oracle Solaris 10 OS or Oracle Solaris 11 OS DVD into the DVD drive.
  2. Stop the volume management daemon, vold(1M), on the primary domain.
    primary# svcadm disable volfs
  3. Stop and unbind the guest domain (ldg1).
    primary# ldm stop ldg1
    primary# ldm unbind ldg1
  4. Add the DVD with the DVD-ROM media as a secondary volume and virtual disk.

    The following uses c0t0d0s2 as the DVD drive in which the Oracle Solaris media resides, dvd_vol@primary-vds0 as a secondary volume, and vdisk_cd_media as a virtual disk.

    primary# ldm add-vdsdev options=ro /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 dvd_vol@primary-vds0
    primary# ldm add-vdisk vdisk_cd_media dvd_vol@primary-vds0 ldg1
  5. Check to see that the DVD is added as a secondary volume and virtual disk.
    primary# ldm list-bindings

    primary active -n-cv SP 4 4G 0.2% 22h 45m

      NAME VOLUME TOUT DEVICE SERVER
      vdisk1 vol1@primary-vds0
      vdisk_cd_media dvd_vol@primary-vds0
    ....
  6. Bind and start the guest domain (ldg1).
    primary# ldm bind ldg1
    primary# ldm start 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 ..
  7. Show the device aliases in the client OpenBoot PROM.

    In this example, see the device aliases for vdisk_cd_media, which is the Oracle Solaris DVD, and vdisk1, which is a virtual disk on which you can install the Oracle Solaris OS.

    ok devalias
    vdisk_cd_media  /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
  8. On the guest domain's console, boot from vdisk_cd_media (disk@1) on slice f.
    ok boot vdisk_cd_media: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
