Archive and backup the guest domain configuration: # ldm list-constraints -x <ldom> > <ldom>.xml 2. Backup the guest domains over the network by installing the netbackup client inside the guest domain. Add it to your backup sched and backup as you would a normal server. For full guest domain recovery, the key things are: 1. Restore the guest domain configuration if it has been lost. This assumes that your VSW and VDS resources are available: # ldm add-domain -i <ldom>.xml 2. Make sure that you have enough VCPU, MAU, and Memory to boot your guest domain. 3. Jumpstart guest domain 4. Install netbackup client 5. Do netbackup restore. For the primary domain backup: 1. Backup the LDM db files in: /var/opt/SUNWldm 2. Archive and backup the primary domain configuration: # ldm list-constraints -x primary > primary.xml 3. Backup the primary domain over the network by installing the netbackup client, setup sched and backup as normal. For full primary domain recovery: 1. Update firmware 2. Install netbackup client 3. Install LDM software 4. Restore /var/opt/SUNWldm 5. Start up LDM services 6. If all goes well, the LDM config will be read and you will be in initial configuration mode. Save the config to the hypervisor and reboot. If not, parse the primary.xml file to recreate the primary domain configuration, save config, and reboot. 7. Restore guest domain configs and data. Then bring up guest domains. I hope that helps. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Octave J.
