Hi,

I know that a VDS is meant to be a service from which devices can be
exported to guests, but what I found is that the LDM allows a VDS to be
associated with a guest ldom and allows a device from the same VDS to be
exported to the same guest.

Let me explain with an example, consider ldom2 which is a guest ldom, I have
associated a VDS with it:

# ldm list-services ldom2
VDS
    NAME             VOLUME         OPTIONS          DEVICE
    ldom2-vds0       testvol
/dev/vx/dsk/vxpooldg/testvol

As can be seen above, ldom2 has a VDS called "ldom2-vds0" and it has a
volume exported as a vdisk from this service.

# ldm list-bindings ldom2
DISK
    NAME                           VOLUME                      TOUT DEVICE
SERVER
    testvol_from_ldom2-vds0 testvol at ldom2-vds0               disk at 0  ldom2



Then the same vdisk (backed by the volume) is bound to the the same guest
ldom2!!

How does the LDC channel get established in this scenario ?
Is this a supported configuration? If not, why does LDM allow this ?

Regards,
Misha.
