Is it possible to use zvol from SAN LUN to install LDOM OS ? I 'm using following VDS from my service domain
Code:
VDS
NAME LDOM VOLUME DEVICE
primary-vds0 primary iso sol-10-u6-ga1-sparc-dvd.iso
cdrom /data03/sol-10-u6-ga1-sparc-dvd.iso
zvol /dev/zvol/rdsk/newpool/VSAN/vol2
and when i boot my Ldom1 i get following error
Code:
{0} ok boot /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@0 -s
Boot device: /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@0 File and args: -s
Bad magic number in disk label
ERROR: /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@0: Can't open disk label package
ERROR: boot-read fail

Reason: added code tags
To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.
First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)
Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.
Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.
Hi. i dont think its related to that volume from zfs.
ex:/
Code:
host1# zpool create -f tank1 c2t42d1
host1# zfs create -V 100m tank1/myvol
host1# zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
tank1 100M 43.0G 24.5K /tank1
tank1/myvol 22.5K 43.1G 22.5K -
Configure a service exporting tank1/myvol as a virtual disk:
host1# /opt/SUNWldm/bin/ldm add-vdiskserverdevice /dev/zvol/rdsk/tank1/myvol zvol@primary-vds0
Add the exported disk to domain (domain2 in this example):
yep i think its not related to zfs as i tried adding a disk slice too .. from internal disk but i gives me following error
Code:
{0} ok boot cdrom - install

Do you what could be the problem i 'm new to Ldoms , i will appriciate if any one can help me in this.
fugitive, i asked above ..
give much more details about your system and how u configured your LDoms.
otherwise i cant say anything, according to behaviour of startup process, something wong with your configuration, certainly with assignment of devices to LDoms.
Generally, this is what we do:-
On primary, export 2 LUNs (add-vdsdev).
On primary, assign these disks to the ldom in question (add-vdisk).
On ldom, created mirrored zpool from these two disks.
On one server (which is older) we have:-
On primary, create mirrored zpool from the two LUNs.... (4 Replies)

The old SAN needs to be retired so we allocated LUNs from the new SAN, discovered the LUNs as multipath disks (4 paths) and grew... (4 Replies)

I have some LDOMs running on a Sparc server. I copied the disk0 file from one chassis over to another, stopped the ldom on the source system and started it on the 2nd one. All fine. Shut it down and flipped back. We then did a fair bit of work on the... (4 Replies)
I have viewed a few previous posts regarding this, but none of them quite described or worked with my issue.

Now, my requirement is to let... (3 Replies)
Dear Srs,
I have a Linux server (linux01) booting from SAN with a volume in a Nexsan SATAbeast storage array (san01). The disk/volume has four ext3 partitions, total size is near to 400GB, but only 20-30GB are in use.
I need to move this disk/volume to another Nexsan SATAbeast storage array... (0 Replies)
