LDOMs on T2000 and T2540 , guest domains from FC LUN's

Hi,
I have some T2000 servers and ont 2540 FC storage. each servers have one HBA only, and 73 GB of mirrored internal disk space
I would like to implement LDOM's here. I would like to confirm if we can have the guest domains booted off from the SAN storage LUN's. (Guest OS to be installed on LUN's exported to T2000 from 2540 storage)
Any help will be highly apreciated
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
Guest LDOM images can be on anything, as it is transparent to the LDOM. Remember the Control domain is actually serving the filesystems to the guest LDOM`s. So they can either be whole LUN`s, zfs devices, mounted filesystems, anything really. You could even have a LDOM guest image on a NFS filesystem if you really wanted..
I have setup the majority of systems using the SAN attached to the Control domain, and then setup ZFS filesystems on these LUN`s and placed disk images on the ZFS filesystems. This means that we can use ZFS snapshots on the control domain if we need to do any patching etc.etc.
I would also suggest that you have a minimum of 2 connections to each of your SAN devices. One connection is bad, m`kay? :D

  • Vds_add_vd() error and frozen guest domain

    Tried stopping/unbinding the domain and then rebooting the primary domain, still doesn't work. Removed the guest domain, rebooted, recreated, still doesn't work. Any ideas on what else I can try? Thanks

    Hi merwick,
    thanks for the reply. Running sol10 11/06 (u3) with patch 124921. The disk wasn't in use anywhere else but vxvm is installed on the box which got me thinking. Seems I was getting hit by the veritas DMP issue (bug 6522993) even though the disk in question wasn't being used by vxvm directly. A "vxdisk rm" solved the issues. So first guest domain up and running :) Happy days. Uninstalled vxvm from the system as well and am off to try out zfs as boot disks (as described in the Ldom admin guide). Thanks again.

  • Install OS from cdrom failed on guest domain

    I am trying to install Soloris OS on guest domain of SUN T2000 server, but it failed for "WARNING: /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@0: Timeout connecting to virtual disk server... retrying"
    it seems abnormal that the SOFTSTATE of primary and the guest domain is always in "Openboot initializing" and the SOFTSTATE in the Logic domain adminstration document is "Solaris running". Is it the failing reson?
    Here is the output of "ldm list -l"

  • LDOM Guest domains show c0d0 as 100% using iostat -cxn

    I have a T5220 split into one primary and 3 guest domains. When the primary is re-booted an iostat -cxn on the guest domains shows c0d0 as 100% in the %b column. This is causing BMC Patrol to report a problem.
    Searches of sunsolve and google have not given any pointers - possibly due to the vagueness of the question.
    This situation only seems to occur when the primary domain is re-booted without the guest ldoms being re-booted.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Guest Domain Freezes with 100% utilization

    I setup LDOM on a Sun Fire T2000 with one control domain and one guest domain. The guest domain is sharing the disk (on slice 6) with the control domain.
    The slice is set as boot disk for the guest domain. Upon starting the guest domain, the utilization goes 100%. A telnet to the virtual console gets refused connection.
    When I try to stop and unbind the guest domain (with a reboot), the slice is no longer unusable. format and newfs commands both cannot operate on the slice. What's wrong?

    Hi,
    In the case of bug 6530040, the recovery method in the Release Notes is to reboot the system. In my case, even after the reboot the vds still does not close the device. I suspect I might use a wrong way to reboot the system. Can you give me an example for a system with control domain (primary) and a single guest domain (myldom1).
    My steps would be as follow:
    $ ldm stop-domain myldom1
    $ ldm unbind-domain myldom1
    $ reboot
    Do I miss any step?
    LDOM seems to have problem releasing the network interface e1000g0 also. How do I release it?

  • Backup the Complete Guest Domain

    Hi All,
    What is the best way to backup the complete Guest Domain including the configuration and all, so that it can be migrated to another server.
    Thanks in advance

    The best way in my opinion is NOT to copy the guest domain.
    instead just have the vdisk beck-end device be on a shared storage ( via san of nfs ) and then just use ldom migration to migrate the guest domain to another server

  • Remove a domain from Exchange 2003, now other domains cannot send to the old domain error 5.1.1

    We have a single Exchange 2003 server.  We have multiple mail domains on the server, but are slowly moving to a hosted email solution.  I moved the first domain, I will call it
    domainABC, to our hosted solution.  I have removed all exchange mailboxes from the users, and deselected the domain from Recipient Policies.  I then ran the policy.  
    Whenever I send an email to anyone on Domain ABC from any other domain on the Exchange server, I get the 5.1.1 message.  I am not sure what to do next - any help would be appreciated...
    Brian

    Hi Brian,
    Could you post the detail information for the NDR message?
    When you migrate all the users to the host email server, did you change mx record point to the new server?
    You also can use this tool to help you check for the inbound email test (for Domain ABC).

  • Guest LDOM disk access through multiple IO domains

    Hi All,
    I am working on a configuration, wherein the boot disk to the Guest LDOM is being provided through an image file hosted on a VxVM diskgroup (vmdg1). The configuration has another copy of the same image file being provided through another VxVM diskgroup (vmdg2)l through another virtual disk service.
    let me clear the configuration a little more in detail
    A T-5240 server having 2 IO domains configured
    Primary (Control domain + IO domain + Service domain) configuration
    A VxVM diskgrop (vmdg1) having a boot image file
    Secondary (IO domain + Service domain) configuration
    A VxVM diskgroup (vmdg2) having a copy of the boot image file
    these devices are exported through their respective virtual disk services with the same mpgroup name to a guest LDOM. The vdsisk is then assigned to the guest ldom which is using the volume through the primary service.
    When the guest LDOM is started it starts with the disk export through the Primary domain. All writes happen fine. When the VxVM diskgroup is deported from the Primary the Guest LDOM still remains online as starts using the disk image path through the secondary domain.
    I then bring the VxVM diskgroup and the mounts back online on the Primary domain and deport the diskgroup from the secondary domain to see if it failsback to the image through the Primary domain. The Guest LDOM now is in a hung state and does not allow access through the local console or through network logins.
    Has anyone see such a problem? Also is it recommended to use disk based image as a backend device in mpgroups through "ldm add-vdsdev" ?
    TIA,
    Sudhir

    As far as I know then only way to "re-balance" the I/O across the domains is to unbind/bind the guests. Not a great answer, but this could be done as part of the guests patching cycle.
    I think there is an RFE to provide MPxIO-like features to guests.

  • Can I install Sun Cluster on LDOM guest domain. Is Oracle RAC a supported c

    Hello,
    Can I install Sun Cluster on LDOM guest domains. Is Oracle RAC on LDOM guest domains of 2 physical servers a supported configuration from oracle?
    Many thanks in advance
    Ushas Symon

    Hello,
    The motive behind using LDOm Guest domains as RAC node is to have a better control of the resource allocation, since i will be having more than one guest domains which should perform different functions. The customer wants to have ORACLE RAC alone (without sun cluster).
    I will have two T5120's and one 2540 shared storage.
    My plan of configuration is to have
    Control&IO Domain with 8VCPU, 6GB mem
    one LDOM guest domain on each physical machine with 8 VCPU's, 8GB of memory, shared n/w and disks participating as RAC node's. (Don't know yet if i will use solaris cluster or not)
    one guest domain on each physical machine with 12 VCPU's, 14GB of memory, shared n/w and disks participating as BEA weblogic cluster nodes (not on solaris cluster)
    One guest domain on each physical machine with 4 VCPU's, 4GB of memory,shared n/w and disks participating as apache web cluster (on solaris cluster)
    Now, My question is, is it a supported configuration to have guest domains as Oracle RAC participants for 11gR2 (either with or without solaris cluster).
    If I need to configure RAC nodes on solaris cluster, is it possible to have two independent clusters on LDOM , one 2 node cluster for RAC and another 2 node cluster for apache web?
    Kindly advise
    Many thanks in advance
    Ushas Symon

  • How to reboot a guest domain when hung and ldm stop-domain doesn't work

    Hi, the configuration is as follows.
    SF T1000 (32 threads/16gb) memory
    Latest Firmware and the LDOM patch (-02) applied.
    This is how the LDOMs are setup.
    Instance CPUs Memory
    Service domain 4 2g
    ldom1 4 2g
    ldom2 4 2g
    ldom3 4 2g
    ldom4 4 2g
    ldom5 4 2g
    ldom6 4 2g
    ldom7 4 1.9g
    All guest domains are running on disk-images on mirrored BE on service domain. Size around 7 gb and SUNWCXall installed.
    However, I have had a few hangs, especially when working over the virtual switch on the domains.
    At the moment ldom1 is totally hung. See below for info:

  • Volume as install disk for Guest Domain and Live Upgrade

    Hi Folks,
    I am new to LDOMs and have some questions - any pointers, examples would be much appreciated:
    (1) With support for volumes to be used as whole disks added in LDOM release 1.0.3, can we export a whole LUN under either VERITAS DMP or mpxio control to guest domain and install Solaris on it ? Any gotchas or special config required to do this ?
    (2) Can Solaris Live Upgrade be used with Guest LDOMs ? or is this ability limited to Control Domains ?
    Thanks

    The answer to your #1 question is YES.
    Here's my mpxio enabled device.
    non-STMS device name STMS device name
    /dev/rdsk/c2t50060E8010029B33d16 /dev/rdsk/c4t4849544143484920373730313036373530303136d0

    create the virtual disk using slice 2

    add the virtual disk to the guest domain
    ldm add-vdisk apps bootdisk@primary-vds01 ldom1
    the virtual disk will be imprted as c0d0 which is the whole lun itself.
    bind, start ldom 1 and install OS (i used jumpstart) and it partitioned the boot disk c0d0 as / 15GB, swap the remaining space (10GB)
    when you run format, print command on both guest and primary domain on this disk you'll see the same slice/size information

    I havent used DMP but HDLM (Hitachi Dynamic link manager) seems not supported by ldom as i cannot make it work :(
    I have no answer on your next question unfortunately.

  • Removing Guest VM From Domain Upon Deletion

    We use System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager to deploy VMs to our Hyper-V servers. We are starting to use the VM templates to automate our system deployments. These templates are configured to use a randomly generated hostname, and join the company
    AD Domain.
    The creation and joining of the domain are working correctly, but upon deletion of the guest VM is it not removed from the domain. Does SCVMM or Hyper-V offer a way to automate the removal of guest VMs from the domain upon their deletion?

    There is no way to handle the "domain un-join" or the deletion of domain computer accounts.
    The answer is to use scripts that drive SCVMM; find the VM, delete the VM, delete the computer account (running under credentials that can do this action).
    If you drink the system center cool-aid - then Operations Manager is your friend.
    Again, SCVMM / Hyper-V do not do this for you.  They really don't perform the domain join for you.  The VM is presented with an unattend.xml with the domain and user information to perform the join.

  • LDOMS - virtual disks export mutiple times to different guest domains

    Experts,
    From control domain, can I export one storage LUN to two guest domains?
    ldm add-vdsdev /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 disk1@primary-vds0
    ldm add-vdisk disk1 disk1@primary-vds0 ldom1
    Ok
    ldm add-vdsdev /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 disk2@primary-vds0
    Gives error. With –f flag it works.
    ldm add-vdisk disk2 disk2@primary-vds0 ldom2
    Is it permitted configuration?

    A virtual disk back end can be exported multiple times either through the same or different virtual disk servers. Each exported instance of the virtual disk back end can then be assigned to either the same or different guest domains.
    When a virtual disk back end is exported multiple times, it should not be exported with the exclusive (excl) option. Specifying the excl option will only allow exporting the back end once. The back end can be safely exported multiple times as a read-only device with the ro option.

    It seems the disks are not ready at the

    We see this on systems with many guest domains.
    Is there any logfile, where we could find the reason for this?
    Or is this a known issue?

    Press F12 on boot to choose CD/DVD as a temporary boot device.
    My hunch is that there's something wrong with the SSD itself, though.
    Good luck.
    Cheers,

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and am using the current version.  I cannot remove the guest account from the startup screen.  I disabled it in the system pref but it still appears.

    I downloaded and installed the most recent verison of Lion for my iMac.  After doing so I noticed that my start up screen now has a "guest" account.  I went into settings and disabled the "guest" account.  Still, the startup sceen displays a "guest" account and allows one to start the computer in a "safari" only mode.
    How do I removed the "guest" account from the start up screen and disable access via the "guest" account?
