This is strange behavior.
Such systems should never lose configuration in that manner (reset to factory).
This would indicate issues with ILO, since configuration is saved there, and retrieved by the hypervisor during boot.
Did you ever issue save configuration command ldm add-spconfig <friendly_name_date> on that system ?
Check out firmware version and update if you can (since you have downtime now).
As for the hypervisor configuration, you will need to reconfigure primary with couple of cores / GB of ram, not leave it configured with all machines capacity assigned to primary (and in your case, control domain as well).
Other resources (CPU,RAM) are left out to ldoms.
Consider limiting the ZFS ARC on primary domain using set user_reserve_hint_pct=80 in /etc/system.
What are you using as disk devices for ldoms ?
Hope that helps

Hi all
I have a really strange situation. This morning I ran lpstat -p and it didn't return any results. I ran lpstat -t and the scheduler is running.
How strange, it seems all the printers have disappeared from my server.
Can anyone perhaps explain to me how this is possible? (4 Replies)

NAME
chcpu - configure CPUs
SYNOPSIS
chcpu -c|-d|-e|-g cpu-list
chcpu -p mode
chcpu -r|-h|-V
DESCRIPTION
chcpu can modify the state of CPUs. It can enable or disable CPUs, scan for new CPUs, change the CPU dispatching mode of the underlying
hypervisor, and request CPUs from the hypervisor (configure) or return CPUs to the hypervisor (deconfigure).
Some options have a cpu-list argument. Use this argument to specify a comma-separated list of CPUs. The list can contain individual CPU
addresses or ranges of addresses. For example, 0,5,7,9-11 makes the command applicable to the CPUs with the addresses 0, 5, 7, 9, 10, and
11.
OPTIONS
-c, --configure cpu-list
Configure the specified CPUs. Configuring a CPU means that the hypervisor takes a CPU from the CPU pool and assigns it to the vir-
tual hardware on which your kernel runs.
-d, --disable cpu-list
Disable the specified CPUs. Disabling a CPU means that the kernel sets it offline.
-e, --enable cpu-list
Enable the specified CPUs. Enabling a CPU means that the kernel sets it online. A CPU must be configured, see -c, before it can be
enabled.
-g, --deconfigure cpu-list
Deconfigure the specified CPUs. Deconfiguring a CPU means that the hypervisor removes the CPU from the virtual hardware on which
the Linux instance runs and returns it to the CPU pool. A CPU must be offline, see -d, before it can be deconfigured.
-p, --dispatch mode
Set the CPU dispatching mode (polarization). This option has an effect only if your hardware architecture and hypervisor support
CPU polarization. Available modes are:
horizontal The workload is spread across all available CPUs.
vertical The workload is concentrated on few CPUs.
-r, --rescan
Trigger a rescan of CPUs. After a rescan, the Linux kernel recognizes the new CPUs. Use this option on systems that do not auto-
matically detect newly attached CPUs.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
RETURN CODES
chcpu has the following return codes:
0 success
1 failure
64 partial success
