Notes on Oracle VM Server for SPARC

If you operate a guest domain with the reset(8) command of the XSCF firmware
■
after reconfiguring a logical domain with Oracle VM Server for SPARC and before
executing the ldm add-spconfig command, another guest domain may be reset. Or
the specified guest domain will not be reset. Save a configuration of the logical
domain with the ldm add-spconfig command. If you reset the guest domain
before saving it, execute the ldm stop command from the control domain, not
from XSCF.
If you specify a logical domain configuration for next time you start, use the ldm
■
set-config command in place of ldm add-spconfig -r.
If you use the ldm add-spconfig -r command to specify a logical domain
configuration for next time you start, and operate a guest domain with the reset(8)
command of the XSCF firmware, another guest domain may be reset.
If you execute the ldm migrate-domain command with Oracle VM Server for
■
SPARC, the following problems will occur in XSCF:
■
■
If you execute the showdomainstatus(8) command, the status of the migrated
guest domain shows "Unknown".
When the physical partition (PPAR) is powered off with the poweroff(8)
command, all the guest domains may not be properly shut down.
