Starting a Domain

Use the ldm start-domain command to start one or more domains. You can also specify an XML configuration file to start a logical domain.

Use the ldm start-domain -f command to enable a guest domain and its I/O service domains to boot simultaneously. The -f option starts a guest domain even when its SR-IOV service domain or domains are not running. The guest domain does not boot successfully if the missing I/O services are essential to the OS boot process. Note that applications running on the guest domain might not function properly if the missing I/O services are essential to the application's operation.
