If I use the local name to virtualize the same device name then I get the following error [b] bash-3.00# ldm add-vsw net-dev=nxge0 primary-vsw0 secsd The device path nxge0 for virtual switchprimary-vsw0 is already in use by virtual switch secondary-vsw0 bash-3.00#[/b] I am trying to virtualize the switch from the control/primary domain. Am I doing anything wrong. Should I install LDM software in the second service domain and do the switch virtualization for the second service domain from there or should I do from control domain. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
