Restoring Domain Configurations

This section describes how to restore a domain configurations from an XML file for guest domains and for the control (primary) domain.

  • To restore a domain constraints for guest domains, you use the ldm add-domain -i command, as described in How to Restore a Domain Configuration From an XML File (ldm add-domain). Although you can save the primary domain's constraints to an XML file, you cannot use the file as input to this command.

  • To restore a domain configuration for the primary domain, you use the ldm init-system command and the resource constraints from the XML file to reconfigure your primary domain. You can also use the ldm init-system command to reconfigure other domains that are described in the XML file, but those domains might be left inactive when the configuration is complete. See How to Restore a Domain Configuration From an XML File (ldm init-system).
