Setting Up Services and the Control Domain

Howto Create Default Services
1. Create a virtual console concentrator (vcc) service for use by the virtual network terminal server
daemon (vntsd) and as a concentrator for all logical domain consoles.
For example, the following command would add a virtual console concentrator service
(primary-vcc0) with a port range from 5000 to 5100 to the control domain (primary).
primary# ldm add-vcc port-range=5000-5100 primary-vcc0 primary

2. Create a virtual disk server (vds) to allowimporting virtual disks into a logical domain.

For example, the following command adds a virtual disk server (primary-vds0) to the control
domain (primary).
primary# ldm add-vds primary-vds0 primary

3. Create a virtual switch service (vsw) to enable networking between virtual network (vnet)

devices in logical domains.
Assign a GLDv3-compliant network adapter to the virtual switch if each logical domain must
communicate outside the box through the virtual switch.
■ In Oracle Solaris 10, add a virtual switch service on network adapter driver to the control
domain.
primary# ldm add-vsw net-dev=net-driver vsw-service primary
For example, the following command adds a virtual switch service (primary-vsw0) on
network adapter driver nxge0 to the control domain (primary):

primary# ldm add-vsw net-dev=nxge0 primary-vsw0 primary

■ In Oracle Solaris 11, add a virtual switch service (primary-vsw0) on network adapter driver

net0 to the control domain (primary):

primary# ldm add-vsw net-dev=net-driver vsw-service primary
For example, the following command adds a virtual switch service (primary-vsw0) on
network adapter driver net0 to the control domain (primary):
primary# ldm add-vsw net-dev=net0 primary-vsw0 primary

■ The following applies to the Oracle Solaris 10 OS only and should not be performed on an
Oracle Solaris 11 system.

This command automatically allocates aMAC address to the virtual switch. You can specify
your ownMAC address as an option to the ldm add-vsw command. However, in that case, it
is your responsibility to ensure that theMAC address specified does not conflict with an
already existingMAC address.

If the virtual switch being added replaces the underlying physical adapter as the primary
network interface, it must be assigned theMAC address of the physical adapter, so that the
DynamicHost Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server assigns the domain the same IP
address. See “EnablingNetworking Between the Control/ServiceDomain and Other
Domains” on page 61.
primary# ldm add-vsw mac-addr=2:04:4f:fb:9f:0d net-dev=nxge0 primary-vsw0 primary

4. Verify the services have been created by using the list-services subcommand.
Your output should look similar to the following:
primary# ldm list-services primary
