Interesting.  I though that the processor, memory, LDC and such other things
are only available through the control domain, and that this was a problem.  So,
it seems that if you don't want or need to change domains configuration, this
special domain is "not needed" for other things that the I/O parts and can be
rebooted without impact on guest domains (properly configured with an alternate
I/O domain)?

It would be nice to have clear guidance for this kind of a little bit
complex LDom
configurations, particularly with the new T3 servers (as can be found
in the LDom
Community CookBook).

For the alternate I/O domain to be fully redundant, you mean the separate boot
disks not to be provided locally, but from SAN maybe?  (I can't find a T-Series
where each of the two (or more) buses provide internal disk drives.)
