used

Code:

mkisofs -lJR -o output_image.iso directory_name

to create an iso on the primary domain of a server.

mounted it locally in the primary using

Code:

lofiadm -a /path/to/cd.iso

mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt

verified that I could read the disk correctly.

then created a vdsdev using :

Code:

ldm add-vdsdev -options=ro /home/userid/10_Recommended.iso 10_Recommended@primary-vds0

then attached it to the LDOM:

Code:

 ldm add-vdisk 10_Recommended 10_Recommended@primary-vds0 ldm

but when I booted the LDOM it didn't see the disk. it doesn't show up in format it doesn't show up in /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk but it does show in devalias from the OBP.

what am I doing incorrectly?

NOTE: I am not trying to boot from this disk. I want to provide it to the LDOM as a mountable asset to patch from.

thanks in advance
