Hmm.. there isn't a method to do this with LDoms. However, there is a method on 
the old SunFire systems that used SMS. I wonder if that kind of functionality 
can be ported. Have the guest OS report the hostname on an LDC or through 
OBP.It would mean that "ldm list" would require a new column "Hostname" or 
something like that.  Put in an RFE for this feature, I think it makes sense.

Subject: [ldoms-discuss] Find name of ldom from within ldom?


Hi Folks.

Does anyone know if there is a way to find the name of the guest ldom from the 
OS running within the guest ldom? The assumption might be that the OS running 
in the ldom will be named the same as the ldom (as viewed from 'ldm ls'), but 
all it takes is one OS rename from within the LDOM to break the mapping between 
the physical host and the ldoms that reside on it.

I'm looking to accomplish one of two things, with a slight preference for the 
first one..
1: Find the name of the ldom from the running OS. I want the running OS to be 
able to populate a database with it's ldom name so we can find it on our farm 
without having to worry about a manual mapping.

2: Find the name of Guest ldom OSes from the primary/control domain. Getting 
the names of the ldoms is easy (ldm ls), but getting the OS names seems like it 
would require some ugly screen scraping from telnetting to the console port for 
each running ldom.


Any pointers/suggestions?


Thanks Much!
