Well I've got rid of the warning message - looks like the virtual firmware is passing a different device for the ncp device on the t6320 and so the /etc/path_to_inst ends up with two ncp devices (and somone realises this is nonsense). To fix delete the "/virtual-devices at 100/ncp at 4" 0 "ncp" line and change the instance number in the newly generated ncp device to 0 (so you have "/virtual-devices at 100/ncp at 6" 0 "ncp"). I'd guess you should do a reconfig boot after this, but as I don't have any mau devices attached to my ldoms yet, this doesn't seem to be required. I guess I'll still need to know if moving LDOMs between platforms is supported thought. -Steve -- This message was posted from opensolaris.org
