We are having a discussion on what order LDOMS and control domains should be booted.
I think it should be LDOMS first then Control. Can anyone tell me why I am wrong or why I am right.
I understand what you are saying...but what I am really curious about is after patching a control domain and the LDOMS which should be booted first. I understand that the LDOMS cannot be booted until the CD comes back up but should you boot the LDOMS first after the patch has been added or should you boot the CD after the patches have been added?
I think by "boot" you mean "reboot". If that is the case, I would first do the whole patching process on LDoms, without touching primary domain. After all the LDoms have been patched and rebooted and no issues arose I would go ahead with patching the primary domain.
My methodology would differ slightly depending on OS version
If Solaris 10:
build and patch the ABE for each Client LDOM. Then the Primary. Once all are complete, activate the client ABE's and shutdown the client LDOMs.
after that is complete, activate the Primary ABE and then reboot. If the Primary comes up OK on the alternate BE, Start and boot each Client one at a time to ensure they are coming up ok. Then proceed with any zones you have configed.
This is assuming of course that you don't have anything set to auto boot.
If Solaris 11:
Patch at will, just ensure you shutdown your guests prior to rebooting the Primary.

I am trying to figure out how to run these is multiple Virtual Machines (LDoms). Unfortunately I cannot find a tutorial so am using the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.4 Administration Guide; which is frustrating because it assumes a... (4 Replies)
Hi Folks,
I am used to writing scripts to get info by running commands at local zones level from their respective global zone by using zlogin <localzone> "command>" while remaining at the global zone level.
Can the same be done with Guest LDoms while remaining at the control LDOM level?

Hi Everyone,
one question is it possible to migrate a physical standalone Solaris 8 or 9 OS to Guest Domain (LDOMs).
If yes, can someone please provide steps to migrate these OS to LDOMs.
Thanks,
Kartheek. (1 Reply)
