Listing Domain Resources

This section shows the syntax usage for the ldm subcommands, defines some output terms, such as flags and utilization statistics, and provides examples that are similar to what you actually see as output.

Machine-Readable Output

If you are creating scripts that use ldm list command output, always use the -p option to produce the machine-readable form of the output. See Generate a Parseable, Machine-Readable List (-p) for more information.

Show Syntax Usage for ldm Subcommands

Flag Definitions

The following flags can be shown in the output for a domain (ldm list). If you use the long, parseable options (-l -p) for the command, the flags are spelled out; for example, flags=normal,control,vio-service. If not, you see the letter abbreviation; for example -n-cv-. The list flag values are position dependent. Following are the values that can appear in each of the six columns from left to right.

Column 1

Column 2

Column 3

Column 4

Column 5

Column 6

Utilization Statistic Definition

The per virtual CPU utilization statistic (UTIL) is shown on the long (-l) option of the ldm list command. The statistic is the percentage of time that the virtual CPU spent executing on behalf of the guest operating system. A virtual CPU is considered to be executing on behalf of the guest operating system except when it has been yielded to the hypervisor. If the guest operating system does not yield virtual CPUs to the hypervisor, the utilization of CPUs in the guest operating system will always show as 100%.

The utilization statistic reported for a logical domain is the average of the virtual CPU utilizations for the virtual CPUs in the domain. A dash (---) in the UTIL column means that the strand is power-managed.

List Configurations

Example 10-5 Configurations List

The ldm list-config command lists the logical domain configurations that are stored on the service processor. When used with the -r option, this command lists those configurations for which autosave files exist on the control domain.

For more information about configurations, see Managing Logical Domains Configurations. For more examples, see the ldm(1M) man page.

Meaning of Labels

The labels to the right of the configuration name mean the following:

List Devices

List Available Memory

List Services

Listing Constraints

To the Logical Domains Manager, constraints are one or more resources you want to have assigned to a particular domain. You either receive all the resources you ask to be added to a domain or you get none of them, depending upon the available resources. The list-constraints subcommand lists those resources you requested assigned to the domain.
