Mounting ISO Image Solaris

lofiadm allows associating files containing filesystem images with block devices, enabling the images to be mounted and checked like physical devices. The document provides an example using lofiadm to mount ISO images containing Solaris install servers without burning them to CDs first, allowing the install tools to be run directly from the mounted images.

Mounting ISO image

lofiadm administers lofi(7D), the loopback file driver. lofi(7D) allows a file to be
associated with a block device. That file can then be accessed through the block device.
This is useful when the file contains an image of some filesystem (such as a floppy or
CD-ROM image), because the block device can then be used with the normal system
utilities for mounting, checking or repairing filesystems. See fsck(1M) and mount(1M).

lofiadm and jumpstart


On Solaris 8 and 9 it is not necessary to create CD's to make jumpstart images. This can
be accomplished with lofiadm
# ls /home/Solaris
sol-9-u2-x86-v1.iso sol-9-u2-x86-v2.iso
# lofiadm -a /home/Solaris/sol-9-u2-x86-v1.iso /dev/lofi/1
# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
# cd /mnt/Solaris_9/Tools
# ./setup_install_server
# umount /mnt
# lofiadm -d /home/Solaris/sol-9-u2-x86-v2.iso
# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
# cd /mnt/Solaris_9/Tools
# ./add_to_install_server
