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 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 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 of the logical domains needs to communicate outside the box through the virtual switch.
For example, the following command would add a virtual switch service (primary-vsw0) on network adapter driver e1000g0 to the control domain (primary).
primary# ldm add-vsw net-dev=e1000g0 primary-vsw0 primary |
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, it is your responsibility to ensure 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.
primary# ldm add-vsw mac-addr=2:04:4f:fb:9f:0d net-dev=e1000g0 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 VDS NAME VOLUME OPTIONS DEVICE primary-vds0 VCC NAME PORT-RANGE primary-vcc0 5000-5100 VSW NAME MAC NET-DEV DEVICE MODE primary-vsw0 02:04:4f:fb:9f:0d e1000g0 switch@0 prog,promisc |
