Mount ISO Images in Solaris

Using lofiadm tool, you can pass the -a switch to add a new loopback device.

lofiadm -a

This will create /dev/lofi/, where n: is the sequence number depending on how many /dev/lofi/ is available.

After creating the lofi device, you just mount it with:

mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/lofi/

Where,

-o ro: mount in read-only mode.

-F hsfs: is Solaris's name for cd9660 or iso9660 in Linux.

To reverse the process, i.e. to umount the image, you simply run:

umount

And then remove the lofi device:

lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/

.
