3.4.1 Verifying and Installing Firmware
All CMT servers and Blade Modules ship with firmware support for Logical
Domains. Nevertheless, it is important to ensure that the current firmware for
the server is installed, matching it to the version of Solaris running in the control
domain and the version of Logical Domains management software to be installed.
Current information can be obtained from http://docs.sun.com . The Release
Notes, Reference Manual, and Administration Guide for Logical Domains soft-
ware list the firmware levels needed on each server model. Use the instructions in
the server's Installation Guide or Administration Guide for verifying and install-
ing the firmware.
3.4.2 Installing Logical Domains Software
Examples in this section are taken from Logical Domains version 1.2. (Note: File
names, command syntax, and screen output may vary slightly in future releases.)
Logical Domains software can be downloaded from http://www.sun.com/serv-
ers/coolthreads/ldoms/ . The software is delivered as a .zip file, which can be
unpacked by issuing the following command (or something similar):
# unzip Ldoms_Manager-1_2.zip
Before installing the software, read the README file contained in the opened
.zip file. It will describe any prerequisite patches to install. If any patches are
required, download them from http://sunsolve.sun.com and install them us-
ing patchadd (1M) as directed.
At that point, you can run the install script, responding to any prompts as
needed.
# cd /ldoms/LDoms1.2/LDoms_Manager-1_2/Install
# ./install-ldm
Welcome to the LDoms installer.
You are about to install the Logical Domains Manager package that will
enable you to create, destroy and control other domains on your
system. Given the capabilities of the LDoms domain manager, you can
now change the security configuration of this Solaris instance using
the Solaris Security Toolkit.
Select a security profile from this list:
a) Hardened Solaris configuration for LDoms (recommended)
