Created page with " == Preparing the host server, the Control Domain == 1. Install Solaris 10 on your host system. You're a grown adult, so you decide on how you wan to partition it and what rang..."

New page

== Preparing the host server, the Control Domain ==

1. Install Solaris 10 on your host system. You're a grown adult, so you decide on how you wan to partition it and what range of packages you want to install.

2. Download the Oracle VM Server for SPARC software from [http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/index.html Oracle ]

3. Upload the software to your LDOM server, unpack and install

unzip V24253-01.zip
cd OVM_Server_SPARC-2_0/Install/
./install-ldm

You'll be asked if you want to configure the system now. I always prefer to do it manually later:

Select an option for configuration:

y) Yes, launch the Configuration Assistant after install
n) No thanks, I will configure the system manually later

Enter y or n [y]: n

4. Reboot

shutdown -g0 -i6 -y

5. Create a virtual console concentrator to allow virtual console access to individual LDOMs

ldm add-vcc port-range=5000-5100 primary-vcc0 primary

6. Create a virtual disk server (vds) to allow virtual disk to be imported into LDOMs

ldm add-vds primary-vds0 primary

7. Create a virtual switch to allow the control domain to communicate to the LDOMs

ldm add-vsw net-dev=e1000g0 primary-vsw0 primary

This means that all the LDOMs at this stage will be communicating with themselves and world via the same physical network port, e100g0.

8. View that the services have been created.

ldm list-services

should look something like:

VCC
NAME LDOM PORT-RANGE
primary-vcc0 primary 5000-5100

VSW
NAME LDOM MAC NET-DEV ID DEVICE LINKPROP DEFAULT-VLAN-ID PVID VID MTU MODE
primary-vsw0 primary 00:14:4f:fa:40:c8 e1000g0 0 switch@0 1 1 1500

VDS
NAME LDOM VOLUME OPTIONS MPGROUP DEVICE
primary-vds0 primary

9. List the crypto devices in the control domain

ldm list -o crypto primary

Will look something like:

# ldm list -o crypto primary
NAME
primary

MAU
ID CPUSET
0 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
1 (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
2 (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
3 (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
4 (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
5 (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
6 (48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)
7 (56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63)

10. Assign a single crypto resource to the control domain

ldm set-mau 1 primary

Will look like:

# ldm list -o crypto primary
NAME
primary

MAU
ID CPUSET
0 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

11. Assign virtual CPU's to the control domain

ldm set-vcpu 8 primary

12. Initial a delayed reconfiguration on the control domain

ldm start-reconf primary

13. Assign memory to the control domain

ldm set-memory 2G primary

14. Add a ldom config to the service processor (SP)

ldm add-config initial

Use

ldm list-config

to check it worked

15. Reboot

shutdown -g 0 -i 6 -y

16. Enable the virtual server network terminal server daemon, to allow access to virtual consoles

svcadm enable vntsd
