Logical Domains 1.3 Administration Guide

ProcedureCombine Multiple Consoles Into One Group

  1. Bind the consoles for the domains into one group.

    The following example shows binding the console for three different domains (ldg1, ldg2, and ldg3) to the same console group (group1).


    primary# ldm set-vcons group=group1 service=primary-vcc0 ldg1
    primary# ldm set-vcons group=group1 service=primary-vcc0 ldg2
    primary# ldm set-vcons group=group1 service=primary-vcc0 ldg3
    
  2. Connect to the associated TCP port (localhost at port 5000 in this example).


    # telnet localhost 5000
    primary-vnts-group1: h, l, c{id}, n{name}, q:

    You are prompted to select one of the domain consoles.

  3. List the domains within the group by selecting l (list).


    primary-vnts-group1: h, l, c{id}, n{name}, q: l
    DOMAIN ID           DOMAIN NAME                   DOMAIN STATE
    0                   ldg1                          online
    1                   ldg2                          online
    2                   ldg3                          online

    Note –

    To re-assign the console to a different group or vcc instance, the domain must be unbound; that is, it has to be in the inactive state. Refer to the Solaris 10 OS vntsd(1M) man page for more information on configuring and using SMF to manage vntsd and using console groups.
