SPARC: How to Configure Oracle VM Server for SPARC to Reset for Control Domain Failures

The failure policy settings on the primary domain determine the action to be taken on the guest domain when there is a primary domain failures. When configured to failure-policy=reset, the guest domain would panic when the primary domain fails. If the failure policy is not set to reset on all the primary domains, the resource creation would fail.

• On the node where the ldg0 guest domain is created, set the domain failure policy to reset.

  # ldm set-domain failure-policy=reset primary
  
  # ldm list -o domain primary
