Hi Octave,

 

There is an updated application note which explains support/visibility
for monitoring applications that run inside LDom. The link to the note
is http://library.veritas.com/docs/293324
<http://library.veritas.com/docs/293324> .

 

1.       VCS allows users to specify an XML configuration of LDom by
means of LDom::ConfigFile attribute. If set, VCS will import the
configuration before onlining the LDom (if the LDom configuration does
not already exist).

2.       The configuration file needs to be in sync across all nodes or
can be on a shared storage. If it is on a shared storage, you can
configure a Mount resource and make the LDom resource parent of the
Mount resource. But really the configuration file is only used for the
first time the LDom is being brought up on that particular node. The
LDom creation is a onetime activity for which users can also do manually
if they want to avoid the complexity of keeping the configuration file
in sync or on a shared disk.

3.       Using the LDom::NumCPU attribute, the agent can attach/detach
the VCPUs for a particular LDom. Hence, the agent does not need to
deport/remove the full LDom configuration in its offline/clean entry
point.

 

Regards,

Vikas.

Hi,

At this point, VCS does not provide much for LDoms. It can only move a
guest domain between servers manually or if there is a node fault. Other
than that, it doesn't have any visibility into the guest domain. It
looks to me as if VCS is not deport/importing the guest domain
configuration. Not sure how they are doing that if they assume that you
keep the configs insync between the servers manually.
