Solaris

Hi People,
I have been trying to learn solaris ldoms, have created one on a T2000 and get the following error when try to install it off DVD

Code:

WARNING: /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@1: Communication error with Virtual Disk Server using Port 0. Retrying

If anyone could help with this it would be appreciated

Thanks

Martin

ok,

so are you getting an open boot prompt or is it going straight to disk 0 and trying to boot?

I get the OBP and then when I try to boot off cd (with or without a DVD in the drive) I get the error.


Thanks

Are you sure you are using cdrom image ?
From the output i see

Code:

cdrom                                          /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2

What you need is and iso image copied somewhere on the hypervisor.
Example :
Stop the ldom

Code:

ldm stop yourldom
ldm add-vdsdev /mypath/sol-11.iso dvd-iso@primary-vds0
ldm add-vdisk dvd-iso dvd-iso@primary-vds0 yourLDOM

Set the ldom not to autoboot (i see it will not from ldm list -l output)
If not run

Code:

ldm set-var auto-boot?=false yourLDOM

Start the ldom and telnet to its console.
On OBP run:

Code:

devalias

Notice the dvd-iso from output.
Issue :

Code:

boot dvd-iso

Proceed with installation.

Hope that helps
