I 've a M5000 system with 2 domains configured on it. How can i move the DVD from one domain to the other ? so that i can access the drive in the second domain. cfgdevice -l does not work on M5000
Ive just purchased two m5000, 2 xsystemboards ( 4 chips ), 2 x NICs and 1x dual port hba. Ive opted for addtional OS drives which requires the addtional IO tray.
The orignal plan was to keep everything as one domain, but configure zones. However, Im now thinking 2 domains, splitting the 2 x NICs, one per a domain. The only let down will be the HBA as its one card, with 2 ports.
Incredible is correct in saying that you can not move the dvd to the other domain on the mid-range mx000 servers. however, if you had a high-end server like the m8000 or m9000, you would use cfgadm at the xscf.
change dvd amongst domains:
why sun does not allow this for m5000, i couldn't tell you. however, our workaround was to take an old d240 we had around the office and hook it up to iou1 via a scsi adapter.
I got to know that from SUN that in M5000 the DVD is hard coded to XSB00-0
so i had to work the other way around .. shutdown the domain 0 and assign XSB00-0 to domain1 and then do installation and put it back in domain 0 .. but that was possible because the server is not a prod box. :-)

After upgrading to solaris 10 (from sol 8) on a SUN Blade 1500, it seems that the dvd/cd-rom does not accept dvds nor cds in the dvd drive.
After I insert a dvd/cd in the drive, the disk is simply ejected (!)
Is it possible that the upgrade made the system not being able to recognize these... (2 Replies)
