Logical Domains for CoolThreads Servers - LDOM Examples

Hi,

Since the LDOM blueprint is pretty thin, can someone please post some examples of how to-

1. use a ZFS pool as a boot disk in a guest domain

2. use a seperate physical device as a network interface in a guest domain

I'm looking for ldm commands for the above.

Thanks in advance,

- John

Hi,

You can jumpstart an ldom that's using a ZFS pool as a boot device. However, you could probably create a ZFS volume and dd a boot environment onto it.

For guest domains, you can only create vnet interfaces into a vsw (virtual switch) that is back ended by a physical network port. You can create as many vnet interfaces for your guest domain as you'd like and have them come from different vsw's.

I was under the impression that the boot device needs to be a physical device if you are staging your guest domain via jumpstart? Do you have this working?

Checkout my examples on unixconsole.blogspot.com. I have an example of using virtual disk images (sparse files). You can also use local disks or SAN storage.
