Export a Physical Disk as a Virtual Disk

1. Export a physical disk as a virtual disk.

   For example, to export the physical disk c1t48d0 as a virtual disk, you must export slice 2 of that disk (c1t48d0s2).

   primary# ldm add-vdsdev /dev/dsk/c1t48d0s2 c1t48d0@primary-vds0

2. Assign the disk to a guest domain.

   For example, assign the disk (pdisk) to guest domain ldg1.

   primary# ldm add-vdisk pdisk c1t48d0@primary-vds0 ldg1

3. After the guest domain is started and running the Solaris OS, verify that the disk is accessible and is a full disk.

   A full disk is a regular disk that has eight (8) slices.

   For example, the disk being checked is c0d1.

   ldg1# ls -1 /dev/dsk/c0d1s* /dev/dsk/c0d1s0 /dev/dsk/c0d1s1 /dev/dsk/c0d1s2 /dev/dsk/c0d1s3 /dev/dsk/c0d1s4 /dev/dsk/c0d1s5 /dev/dsk/c0d1s6 /dev/dsk/c0d1s7
