Currently LDOMs have support only for virtual consoles through the control 
domain (ssh to control domain server then telnet localhost conport) via VCC / 
VNTSD.

There does not seem to have virtual ALOM capability. E.g. each guest domain 
being assigned a virtual ALOM with individual IPs such that one can ssh to the 
virtual IP and get some sort of ALOM functionality (e.g. reset a guest domain, 
power off / power on a guest domain, console -f to guest domain). Above must go 
through the control domain via the telnet method (for console access) or ldm 
command.

Idea is to allow non UNIX admin to have ability in emergency situation to reset 
/ restart a hung guest domain without being given root right on control domain 
(hosting server). Yes the risk for possible corruption of filesystems can 
happen but it is not worse than current situation when a non-UNIX person being 
given access to physical ALOM.

Please advise if I am missing some documents pointing to some configurations 
that will allow the above to be done, or please advise what I can do to make 
the above happen - Writing some code to tie to ldm is an option, but I hope it 
is the last resort as this is just so unportable.

Thanks in advance.
