Hello,
I'm trying to setup LDoms for the very first time (on a T1000) and after
rebooting at the end of the configuration (which both the online training and
the LDOM guide said to do) I get a warning that the ldmd will not run. The
warnings shown on the console (at the end of the boot process) are:
os-io WARNING: promif_ds_init: can't find ds_cap_init
Hostname: solaris0
Apr 4 18:08:56 svc.startd[7]: svc:/ldoms/ldmd:default: Method
"/opt/SUNWldm/bin/ldmd_start" failed with exit status 1.
Apr 4 18:08:58 svc.startd[7]: svc:/ldoms/ldmd:default: Method
"/opt/SUNWldm/bin/ldmd_start" failed with exit status 1.
solaris0 console login: Apr 4 18:09:00 svc.startd[7]: svc:/ldoms/ldmd:default:
Method "/opt/SUNWldm/bin/ldmd_start" failed with exit status 1.
Apr 4 18:09:00 svc.startd[7]: ldoms/ldmd:default failed: transitioned to
maintenance (see 'svcs -xv' for details)
I looked in the logs and see this error:
fatal error: No such file or directory: Unable to open VLDC instance
/devices/virtual-devices at 100/channel-devices at 200/virtual-channel at
0:hvctl for contacting hypervisor
I assume I did not configure something correctly, and want to try
reconfiguring, but I'm completely unable to change or even view any of the
config because everythign seems to depend on ldmd running. For example:
root at solaris0 # ldm list-services primary
Failed to connect to logical domain manager: Connection refused
root at solaris0 # ldm list-config
Failed to connect to logical domain manager: Connection refused
I have tried multiple times to reboot and set the bootmode to different
settings, however, it behaves the same no matter what config I boot into. I
have tried normal (no selection), factory-default and inital, and in all of
them I am unable to communicate with the ldmd.
Here are the steps I have followed, for example, to try to boot into
factory-default:
root at solaris0 # shutdown -y -g 0 -i 0
Shutdown started. Mon Apr 7 15:24:19 CDT 2008
Changing to init state 0 - please wait

Keyswitch is in the NORMAL position.
Right before I rebooted last, this was the status of my services (unfortunately
I did not notice that the VDLC was missing):
root at solaris0 # ldm ls-services primary

Notice: the LDom Manager is running in configuration mode. Configuration and
resource information is displayed for the configuration under construction;
not the current active configuration. The configuration being constructed
will only take effect after it is downloaded to the system controller and
the host is reset.

How can I get back into configuration mode?
Thanks,
