SPARC T8 Series Servers Administration Guide

Power On a Server With Multiple Active Domains (Oracle VM Server for SPARC)

If the server is configured with multiple Oracle VM Server for SPARC domains, use this procedure to power on the server and restart the domains.

1. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM.

2. Power on the host and start the host console.

   -> start /System
   Are you sure you want to start /System (y/n) ? y
   Starting /System
   -> start /HOST/console
   Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)? y
   

3. Log in to Oracle Solaris and assume the root role.
4. Start all of the nonprimary domains.

   Starting a domain automatically binds the domain.

   # ldm start-domain domain-name
   < . . . >
   

   If a domain's auto-boot? property is set to true, the domain boots the OS after it is started. Domains that do not automatically boot are stopped at the OpenBoot prompt and must be manually booted in the next step.

5. Boot all of the nonprimary domains that do not automatically boot.

   The method you use to access a domain depends on how you have configured the consoles for your domains.

   Boot each domain the same way you boot a server. See Boot the OS (Oracle ILOM).
