Gracefully Shut Down LDoms

The SPARC T5-8 server configurations vary based on the configuration chosen during installation. If running with one LDom you shutdown the machine just as you would any other server just by cleanly shutting down the OS. If running two LDoms you will shutdown the guest domain first and then the primary (control). If running with three or more domains you will have to identify the domain(s) that is/are running off virtualized hardware and shut it/them down first before moving on to shutting down the guest domain and finally the primary (control) domain.

1. Shut down, stop, and unbind each of the non-I/O domains.

   # ldm stop domainname
   LDom domainname stopped
   # ldm unbind-domain domainname
   

2. Shut down, stop, and unbind any active I/O domains.

   # ldm stop activedomainname
   LDom activedomainname stopped
   # ldm unbind-domain activedomainname
   

3. Halt the primary domain.

   # shutdown -i5 -g0 -y
   

   Because no other domains are bound, the firmware automatically powers off the system.
