If the aim is for as short a down-time as possible, don't upgrade the LDM software. You'd need to match it with the relevant hypervisor firmware and to flash this you'd need to turn all the LDoms off for an extended duration.
Of course should you already be on a suitable hypervisor level (check the relevant release notes and patches), then you can ignore this. -Steve --- On Wed, 17/2/10, Terry Smith <Terry.Smith at Sun.COM> wrote: > From: Terry Smith <Terry.Smith at Sun.COM> > Subject: Re: [ldoms-discuss] update the primary domain without shutting down > the other LDoms > To: "Glen Gunselman" <ggunselm at emporia.edu> > Cc: ldoms-discuss at opensolaris.org > Date: Wednesday, 17 February, 2010, 15:55 > Glen > > I really would advise you to move to a much more recent > version of the > LDM software - 1.3 was recently released. 1.0.3 is > now over 2 years old > and there are a lot of fixes in either 1.2 or 1.3 > software. > > T > > > On 17/02/2010 15:38, Glen Gunselman wrote: > > Terry, > > > > Thanks for the reply. > > > > I prefer to use Live Upgrade. > > > > Here's the hypervisor details that I should have > included as well: > > > > Logical Domain Manager (v 1.0.3) > > Hypervisor control > protocol v 1.1 > > Using Hypervisor MD > v 1.0 > > > > System PROM: > > Hypervisor > v. 1.6.7. > @(#)Hypervisor 1.6.7.a 2008/08/30 > 05:18\015 > > > > OpenBoot > v. 4.29.0. @(#)OBP > 4.29.0.a 2008/09/15 12:01 > > > > > > One of the LDoms is running a test Oracle DB but > others are a mix of production and test web servers (some > are Oracle Application Servers, some are Apache). > > > > I having a problem with the LDoms hanging. > Support has indicated the problem is: > > > > 6661097 I/Os stuck in VDC/VDS layer causing hang > > > > and is resolved by kernel patch 139555-08. > > > > I've patched some of the LDoms to 141444-09 but I'm > still seeing the problem. > > > > Support did not say anything about needing to patch > the control domain but I'm thinking I should. > > > > > > Thanks again for the advice, > > Glen > _______________________________________________ > ldoms-discuss mailing list > ldoms-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ldoms-discuss >
