Loading Solaris OS on Guest LDOM
I've been trying for 3 days to load an OS on a guest LDOM I created. The guest domain boots off the network but hangs up on the configuration.
The "Beginners Guide to LDoms" says on page 39:
The second aspect of the operating system is how to install it.
For the Logical Domains Manager, you can use an existing operating system created from another system or domain
and transfer it to a file or another disk, or you can use the network installation method. This example uses a network installation
Since the network option is not working, does anybody have documentation on another install option. Or if not, have have you been able to get the network install to work.
Thanks for any help

Ok, I'm trying to use a Virtual Disk Image.
I get the LDom up, and I can jumpstart. But after the initial reboot ... Does anyone have any ideas?
