dpmzone-installzone 
-host hostname 
-name zonename 
[-archive_path path]

-host hostname

Specifies the Solaris Zones server. This parameter is case-sensitive.

-name zonename

Specifies the zone that you want to install.

-archive_path path

(Optional) Defines the path of the operating environment installer for a branded zone.

Limits: This argument is required for branded zones, but not required for native zones.

-host SolarisServer 
-name MyZone3

Install a branded zone with Solaris 8 on SolarisServer:

dpmzone-installzone -host SolarisServer -name MyZone4
