To all Alternate I/O domain Gurus,

I have an alternate i/o domain setup on one of my T2000 box.
I am stuck at the point where only one boot disk of the guest
shows up inside the guest and not the other.

>From the control domain:
# ldm list
NAME             STATE    FLAGS   CONS    VCPU  MEMORY   UTIL  UPTIME
primary          active   -n-cv   SP      4     4G       0.8%  1d 3h 24m
alternate        active   -n--v   5000    4     4G       0.6%  22h 31m
ldom1            active   -n---   5001    4     4G       0.5%  23m

guest domain bindings:
# ldm list-bindings ldom1 | grep vds0
    vdisk1           vdisk1 at primary-vds0              disk at 0  primary
    vdisk2           vdisk1 at alternate-vds0            disk at 1  alternate

# /opt/SUNWldm/bin/ldm list-services primary
VDS
NAME             VOLUME         OPTIONS          DEVICE
    primary-vds0     vdisk1                          /fsmnt1/ldom1_boot.img

# /opt/SUNWldm/bin/ldm list-services alternate
VDS
    NAME             VOLUME         OPTIONS          DEVICE
    alternate-vds0   vdisk1                          /fsmnt1/ldom1_boot.img

Inside the guest I see only: one disk: c0d1:
# format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
       0. c0d1 <SUNVDSK cyl 22717 alt 2 hd 1 sec 600>
          /virtual-devices at 100/channel-devices at 200/disk at 1
Specify disk (enter its number)

Both the files are accessible from both the i/o domains:
primary # ls -l /fsmnt1/ldom1_boot.img
-rw------T   1 root     root     6979321856 Jan 10 17:06 /fsmnt1/ldom1_boot.img

alternate # ls -l /fsmnt1/ldom1_boot.img
-rw------T   1 root     root     6979321856 Jan 10 17:11 /fsmnt1/ldom1_boot.img

Also, from the ok prompt of the guest, I can see 2 disks attached to it:
a) /virtual-devices at 100/channel-devices at 200/disk at 1 <-- this one is
visible inside the guest as c0d1
b) /virtual-devices at 100/channel-devices at 200/disk at 0 <-- this one is not
visible, should have showed up as "c0d0"

"c0d1" visible inside the guest is the backed by the file exported
from the alternate i/o domain.
but the other disk backed by the file exported from the primary i/o
domain is not visible.

Any idea what may be going wrong here?

Thanks,
Misha.
