Commands run:

# clrg create guest-ldom10-rg

# clrg online -M -n control-ldom1 guest-ldom10-rg

# clrs create -g guest-ldom10-rg -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus:10 -p

GlobalDevicePaths=/dev/global/dsk/d10s0 guest-ldom10-has

# clpstring create -b guest-ldom10-ldom -t resource guest-ldom10-rg_guest-ldom10-ldom_ldompasswd

Enter string value:
Enter string value again:

All looks ok then run the following command which fails:

# clresource create -g guest-ldom10-rg -t SUNW.ldom:10 -p Domain_name=guest-ldom10 -p

CAUSE

Failure policy settings on the primary domain was not set correctly.
The failure policy settings on the primary domain do not have the required failure policy setting. It must be set to 'failure-
policy=reset' on all the primary domains

This is documented in

Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3

» Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle VM Server for SPARC Guide

» Installing and Configuring HA for Oracle VM Server

» SPARC: Planning the HA for Oracle VM Server Installation and Configuration

» SPARC: How to Configure Oracle VM Server for SPARC to Reset for Control Domain Failures

SOLUTION

Example from documentation referenced above.

Perform the following steps on the node where the ldg0 logical domain is created:

1. Set the domain failure policy to reset.

# ldm set-domain failure-policy=reset primary

# ldm list -o domain primary
NAME STATE FLAGS UTIL
primary active -n-cv- 0.6%

SOFTSTATE
Solaris running

HOSTID
0xXXXXXXXX

CONTROL
failure-policy=reset

DEPENDENCY
master=

2. Configure the master-slave domain dependency.

# ldm set-domain master=primary ldg0

3. Set the auto-boot? variable to false.

# ldm set-var auto-boot?=false ldg0

# ldm list -o domain ldg0
NAME STATE FLAGS UTIL
ldg0 active n--- 0.1%

SOFTSTATE
Solaris running
