The Logical Domains Manager uses the Oracle Solaris OS auditing feature to examine the history of actions and events that have occurred on your control domain. The history is kept in a log that tracks what was done, when it was done, by whom, and what was affected. Starting with the Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2.0.1 maintenance update release, audit records are not generated for Logical Domains Manager actions by default.
You can enable and disable the Oracle Solaris OS auditing feature based on the version of the Oracle Solaris OS that runs on your system, as follows:
Oracle Solaris 10 OS: Use the bsmconv and bsmunconv commands. See the bsmconv(1M) and bsmunconv(1M) man pages, and Part VII, Auditing in Oracle Solaris, in System Administration Guide: Security Services .
Oracle Solaris 11 OS: Use the audit command. See the audit(1M) man page and Part VII, Auditing in Oracle Solaris, in Oracle Solaris 11.1 Administration: Security Services .
You must configure and enable the Oracle Solaris auditing feature on your system. Oracle Solaris 11 auditing is enabled by default, but you must still perform some configuration steps.
These customizations are preserved across Oracle Solaris upgrades, but should be re-added after a fresh Oracle Solaris installation.

0x10000000:vs:virtualization_software
The following example /etc/security/audit_control fragment shows how you might specify the vs class:
dir:/var/audit flags:lo,vs minfree:20 naflags:lo,na
# /etc/security/bsmconv
Ensure that any audit classes that have already been selected are part of the updated set of classes. The following example shows that the lo class is already selected:
# auditconfig -getflags active user default audit flags = lo(0x1000,0x1000) configured user default audit flags = lo(0x1000,0x1000)
# auditconfig -setflags [class],vs
class is zero or more audit classes, separated by commas. You can see the list of audit classes in the /etc/security/audit_class file. Be sure to include the vs class on your Oracle VM Server for SPARC system.
For example, the following command selects both the lo and vs classes:
# auditconfig -setflags lo,vs

# auditconfig -getcond
If the auditing software is running, audit condition = auditing appears in the output.
# svccfg -s ldmd setprop ldmd/audit = boolean: true
# svcadm refresh ldmd
# svcadm restart ldmd
