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.

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!
