Prerequisites :
- Solaris 11 base system should have more than 1GB ram and 2GB swap space.(use top command to find out)
- Solaris 10 Branded zone require minimum 3GB disk space.(zonepath)
- Download the oracle soalris 10 VM template from oracle website and keep it in /var/tmp of Solaris 11 global zone.
- Install the Solaris 10 brand on solaris11 global zone.(You need IPS to install it )
root@UAAIS:~# pkg install pkg:/system/zones/brand/brand-solaris10
No updates necessary for this image.
Planning linked: 2/2 done

Click on the download link and that will take to the below screen.According to the system architecture , you can choose the VM template.
Oracle Solaris 10 x86 & SPARC Template
1.Copy the installed binary file to /var/tmp on the Solaris 11 global zone.
root@UAAIS:/var/tmp# ls -lrt |grep bin
-rwx------ 1 root root 1312819651 Mar 27 02:05 solaris-10u11-x86.bin
root@UAAIS:/var/tmp#
2.I have chosen the below dataset as the zoneroot path.
root@UAAIS:/var/tmp# df -h /oraz1/sol10z1
Filesystem Size Used Available Capacity Mounted on
oraz1/sol10z1 10.0G 32K 7.7G 1% /oraz1/sol10z1
root@UAAIS:/var/tmp#
3.You no need to create any zone’s configuration prior to the installation. But you need to supply the zone’s configuration to the binary file to create the Solaris 10 branded zone and zone’s installation. The below commands creates the Solaris 10 branded zone and installs it automatically.
Options:
- -p = zonepath
- -i=Physical network link(zone creates VNIC automatically)
- -z=zonename
- -a=IP address of the local zone
root@UAAIS:/var/tmp# ./solaris-10u11-x86.bin -p /oraz1/sol10z1 -a 192.168.2.44 -i net0 -z uasol10z1

The zone's root password has been set with the one of the global zone.
To harden the zone's security you can change this password: being root,
connect to the zone from the global zone with the command
'zlogin uasol10z1'.
Once logged in, change the root password with the command 'passwd'.

The installation may fail due to the following reasons .
- Insufficient memory
- Insufficient disk-space.
- zone-path doesn’t exists.
Here is the some of the examples of those failed installations.

Not enough free swap-space on this system.
A minimum of 1GB is required while only 936MB are free.
Swap-space can be added with the command 'swap -a'.
