Solaris

What about "cfgdevice" command? Fujitsu's XSCF reference manual states that it can be used to connect DVD drive to a domain. Check "cfgdevice" section here:http://www.fujitsu.com/downloads/SPA...fref-en-03.pdf

cfgdevice will only work on M8000 and M9000 systems.

What is the correct procedure to install Solaris on the second domain on M5000 then? Network install?

if i need to build two (or more) domains on a M4/5000 system, i'll use jumpstart from my laptop to install all domains... the jumpstart server is there, so i use it anyway. for the second (and any other domain) there is no other way then a network install... you can use a scsi controller with external dvd of course, but jumpstart makes it really quick an easy...

OK, thanks for info. Can you also comment on the ability to see other domain's disks in OBP (as aixlover showed earlier)?

if configured correctly, there is no way to see the disks from another domain!

Domains on the same M-series machine are independent 'hardware' systems.

Here is what I've just found: 'A root pool cannot be exported on the local system. For recovery purposes, you can import a root pool when booted from the network or alternate media.' - ZFS Best Practices Guide - Siwiki

I may have to set a jumpstart server.
