How to Create Default Services

Language:

Create a virtual console concentrator (vcc) service for use by the virtual network terminal server daemon (vntsd) and as a concentrator for all logical domain consoles.
For example, the following command would add a virtual console concentrator service (primary-vcc0) with a port range from 5000 to 5100 to the control domain (primary).
```
primary# ldm add-vcc port-range=5000-5100 primary-vcc0 primary
```
Create a virtual disk server (vds) to allow importing virtual disks into a logical domain.
For example, the following command adds a virtual disk server (primary-vds0) to the control domain (primary).
```
primary# ldm add-vds primary-vds0 primary
```
Create a virtual switch service (vsw) to enable networking between virtual network (vnet) devices in logical domains.
Assign a GLDv3-compliant network adapter to the virtual switch if each logical domain must communicate outside the box through the virtual switch.
- In Oracle Solaris 10, add a virtual switch service on a network adapter to the control domain.
```
primary# ldm add-vsw net-dev=network-device vsw-service primary
```
  For example, the following command adds a virtual switch service (primary-vsw0) on network adapter nxge0 to the control domain (primary):
```
primary# ldm add-vsw net-dev=nxge0 primary-vsw0 primary
```
- In Oracle Solaris 11, add a virtual switch service (primary-vsw0) on a network device that you want to use for guest domain networking:
```
primary# ldm add-vsw net-dev=network-device vsw-service primary
```
  For example, the following command adds a virtual switch service (primary-vsw0) on network device net0 to the control domain (primary):
```
primary# ldm add-vsw net-dev=net0 primary-vsw0 primary
```
  You can use the ldm list-netdev -b command to determine the backend network devices that are available for the virtual switch. See Virtual Switch.
  
  You can dynamically update the net-dev property value by using the ldm set-vsw command.
- The following process applies to the Oracle Solaris 10 OS only and should not be performed on an Oracle Solaris 11 system.
  
  This command automatically allocates a MAC address to the virtual switch. You can specify your own MAC address as an option to the ldm add-vsw command. However, in that case, you are responsible for ensuring that the MAC address specified does not conflict with an already existing MAC address.
  
  If the virtual switch being added replaces the underlying physical adapter as the primary network interface, it must be assigned the MAC address of the physical adapter so that the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server assigns the domain the same IP address. See Enabling Networking Between the Control/Service Domain and Other Domains (Oracle Solaris 10 Only).
```
primary# ldm add-vsw mac-addr=2:04:4f:fb:9f:0d net-dev=nxge0 primary-vsw0 primary
```

Verify the services have been created by using the list-services subcommand.

Your output should look similar to the following:

primary# ldm list-services primary
