Hi Misha,

No, I think it is a reasonable use case it's just that when I first
started looking into LDOMs I read the release notes for 1.01 and there
was a note saying that Veritas DMP controlled devices were not
supported for exporting as a vdisk. It wasn't clear from the notes why
this wouldn't work.

I would assume that veritas could be supported in other ways with
LDOMs though. In my test setup I have a T2000 in a split config so
that my veritas LDOM has it's own HBAs so I can provision luns
directly from the SAN to that LDOM. In this case I am running STMS and
zfs in the control domain.

Also if I needed to export storage from an LDOM running vxvm then I
think I could create a veritas volume and filesystem, mount the
filesystem and use mkfile to create files which I could then export to
other LDOMs as vdisks.

Regards,
Vic
