Hi,
We have server SPARC M10. It's come with Solaris 11. Is it possible to install solaris 9 container?
We have database on old SPARC server. We want do HA for database. The database is oracle 9.2. Please advice.
Thanks.
Solaris 9 containers are only supported when in a Solaris 10 global zone.
An M10 supports both Solaris 11 and Solaris 10 so you need to create a Solaris 10 domain in the M10 in order to be able to host a Solaris 9 branded zone.
Can you point any document to install it? From global zone and branded zone.

Solaris 10 in global zone of Solaris 11. Then i install Solaris 9 in Solaris 10. I want Solaris 9 can be accessible within local LAN. Base on doc from oracle said
The global zone is the default operating system and has control over all the processes. A global zone always exists even when no other zones are configured.
Non-global zones, or simply zones , are configured inside the global zone. Zones are isolated from the physical hardware by the virtual platform layer.
A zone cannot detect the existence of any other zones.
Can sol 9 be accessible from local LAN?

None of the above. Don't confuse domains (hard-partitioning) and zones (soft-partitioning).
This won't work. You can't use a non global Solaris 10 zone to install a Solaris 9 branded zone. These kind of zones do not nest.
Hopefully, otherwise they would be quite useless.
Any idea how i can install sol 9 in sol 11? I'm not familiar with solaris zone.
I know back in the day, we were forced to have two servers... Solaris 10 (for Sol 9 and 8 zones) and Solaris 11. I never found a solution outside of that. Now the "two servers" could be two LDOMs on the same physical host...
How about LDOM in Sol 11? Can i install sol 9 in ldom on sol 11?
As I already answered, you can't.

You do not install LDOMs in Solaris, you install Solaris in LDOMs. Please read the answers already provided and the LDOM (now known as "Oracle VM for SPARC") documentation I posted a link to.
I will try install Sol 11 on T2000. Then use Oracle VM, install Sol 9.
- Install Solaris 11 in the control domain
- install Solaris 10 in a guest domain
- install a Solaris 9 branded zone in the Solaris 10 instance
