name aliases
This output shows that the domain is a virtual machine with its own devices—no-
tice how the device aliases are derived from the
ldm
commands that defined them.
Even the thrill of issuing OpenBoot commands at the
ok
prompt can pall after a
while, so we will install Solaris 10 in the domain. Installation can be done over
the network if a JumpStart or Ops Center infrastructure is available, and works
just as on physical machines. For simplicity, we illustrate booting from a Solaris
installation DVD image. Except for the device name alias in the boot command,
this process is identical to that used when installing from a DVD on a physical
machine. Notice the name of the discovered network interface:
vnet0
