Hi, What version of LDM did you install and on what OS revision? *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Octave J.

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 18:09:00 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 sc> poweroff Are you sure you want to power off the system [y/n]? y sc> SC Alert: SC Request to Power Off Host. SC Alert: Host system has shut down. sc> bootmode Bootmode: normal sc> bootmode config="factory-default" sc> bootmode Bootmode: normal config="factory-default" sc> resetsc -y User Requested SC Shutdown ssh is disconnected at this point so I log back in to the sc sc> bootmode Bootmode: normal sc> bootmode config="factory-default" sc> bootmode Bootmode: normal config="factory-default" sc> poweron sc> SC Alert: Host System has Reset Here are some of my settings: sc> showhost Sun-Fire-T1000 System Firmware 6.6.1 2008/02/11 15:54 Host flash versions: OBP 4.28.1 2008/02/11 13:04 Hypervisor 1.6.1 2008/02/11 12:15 POST 4.28.1 2008/02/11 13:29 sc> showplatform SUNW,Sun-Fire-T1000 Chassis Serial Number: 0619NNE0R5 Domain Status ------ ------ S0 Running sc> showkeyswitch 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VDS NAME VOLUME OPTIONS DEVICE primary-vds0 VCC NAME PORT-RANGE priamry-vcc0 5001-5100 VSW NAME MAC NET-DEV DEVICE MODE primary-vsw0 00:14:4f:fb:0e:ec e1000g0 switch at 0 prog,promisc How can I get back into configuration mode?
