This procedure describes how to install the ldmp2v command on an Oracle Solaris 10 system by using the SUNWldmp2v package.
On an Oracle Solaris 11 system, the ldmp2v command is installed by default when you install the ldomsmanager package.
The SUNWldmp2v package is included in the Oracle VM Server for SPARC zip file.
# pkgadd -d . SUNWldmp2v
VDS – Name of the virtual disk service, such as VDS="primary-vds0"
VSW – Name of the virtual switch, such as VSW="primary-vsw0"
VCC – Name of the virtual console concentrator, such as VCC="primary-vcc0"
BACKEND_TYPE – Back-end type of zvol, file, or disk
BACKEND_SPARSE – Determines whether to create back-end devices as sparse volumes or files (BACKEND_SPARSE="yes") or non-sparse volumes or files (BACKEND_SPARSE="no")
BACKEND_PREFIX – Location to create virtual disk back-end devices
When BACKEND_TYPE="zvol", specify the BACKEND_PREFIX value as a ZFS dataset name. When BACKEND_TYPE="files", the BACKEND_PREFIX value is interpreted as a path name of a directory that is relative to /.
For example, BACKEND_PREFIX="tank/ldoms" would result in having ZVOLs created in the tank/ldoms/domain-name dataset, and files created in the /tank/ldoms/domain-name subdirectory.
The BACKEND_PREFIX property is not applicable to the disk back end.
BOOT_TIMEOUT – Timeout for Oracle Solaris OS boot in seconds
For more information, see the ldmp2v.conf.sample configuration file that is part of the downloadable bundle.
