The issue turned out to be one of 'Pilot Error' I'm afraid - when upgrading the LDOMs admin software I inadvertently also removed portions of the LDOM management daemon - ldmd was still installed but couldn't find the libraries it needed in order to start and was choking ... After some initial confusion with Sun Support, a second-level tech gently pointed out the relevant errors in the log that I'd missed and there were red faces all round ... installing the required packages, re-applying the kernel patch and all was good again ... Thanks to all who responded in any case ... :) Regards, Malcolm -- Malcolm Herbert This brain intentionally mjch at mjch.net left blank
