e.g.

ldm add-vdsdev /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 slice at primary-vds0
ldm add-vdisk vdisk2 slice at primary-vds0 guest1

However if you want to install Solaris on the virtual disk backed by the
slice you assigned to the guest domain you will need to mount the slice
in the service domain and create a file on it. Use the file as the backing
storage for the virtual disk.

[ A slice exported from a service domain is visible as a slice in the guest 
domain
and so the Solaris installer can not use it as it can only install on whole 
disks ]

e.g.

mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 /slicemountpoint
mkfile 15G /slicemountpoint/file.img
ldm add-vdsdev /slicemountpoint/file.img file at primary-vds0
ldm add-vdisk vdisk2 file at primary-vds0 guest1
