Sun M5000 hardware domain creation - How to keep current OS?
Hi,

This Sun M5000 currently has a single domain (0) created. Solaris 10 is installed on this domain with some local zones. Now we need to add a secondary hardware domain (1) to this M5000. My question: Can we keep the current OS settings on domain 0 when adding the secondary domain 1?

Thank you in advance!

yes you can... but be aware the 4 disks now mapped to domain 0 will be mapped 2 disks to domain 0 and 2 to domain 1. also the dvd drive is only useable for domain 0!

Here are the basic settings. What are the steps to make the second domain work?

Is the following the right procedure to setup two domains?

with your configuration the above procedure should work. if you build the two domains they will both have equal cpu and memory. if you like an unequal configuration (e.g. one domain with 6 cpus and the other with two...) you'll need another procedure for the "setupfru" command.
