Enabling the Logical Domains Manager Daemon

The install-ldm installation script automatically enables the Logical Domains Manager daemon (ldmd). The ldmd daemon is also automatically enabled when the Oracle VM Server for SPARC software package is installed. Once the daemon is enabled, you can create, modify, and control the logical domains.

Caution  -  Avoid disabling the ILOM interconnect on other systems. However, if you do so, the ldmd daemon can still communicate with the SP.

How to Enable the Logical Domains Manager Daemon

Use this procedure to enable the ldmd daemon if it has been disabled.

1. Use the svcadm command to enable the Logical Domains Manager daemon, ldmd.

   # svcadm enable ldmd

   For more information about the svcadm command, see the svcadm(1M) man page.

2. Verify that the Logical Domains Manager is running.

   The ldm list command should list all domains that are currently defined on the system. In particular, the primary domain should be listed and be in the active state. The following sample output shows that only the primary domain is defined on the system.

   # ldm list
   NAME             STATE    FLAGS   CONS    VCPU  MEMORY   UTIL  UPTIME
   primary          active   ---c-   SP      64    3264M    0.3%  19d 9m
