I am running ldom 1.2 on a T2000 under Solaris 11.3

I thought that the T1000 and T2000 were mostly identical save for the
number of CPUs.
I ask because I'm interested in running LDOMs on my T1000 but can't run
them under Solaris 10 because I don't have the LDOM software and my
tests with 11.<something I don't remember> didn't support the T1000.

I suggest blowing away your primary and ldom (the ldom OS will
remain intact) and rebuilding.
In summary, my mistake was installing ldom 1.2 in Solaris 11.3. I
should have installed VM Sparc 3.6. (I do not have VM Sparc 3.6.)
Have you no Oracle support account at work?
I'm retired -- this is purely my hobby.
The T1000 will run S11.x up to S11.3

I know that the system will run Solaris 11, I've had it on there. But that's not what I was asking about.
I had Solaris 11.0 (and maybe something newer) but it wouldn't manage
LDOMs.
From the reading that I did, the LDOM mechanism in the T1000 (and I
thought T2000) was older and not compatible with the LDOM software that
is part of Solaris 11.

Yep, you are correct. Sorry
LDom V2 should work, but 1.2 "preferred"

No need to apologize. I could have been misremembering what I
understood at the time or even misunderstood at the time.

So, my question still stands; is the T2000 LDOM hardware / management
program that different than the T1000?
Or do you happen to have the magical software that's not part of Solaris
11 to make it work on your T2000?
I think the T1000/2000 (being the 1st CMT) differed enough for them to
block the running of LDom 2.x from running on the older kit. Also a way
to force people to move on 🙂

Yep.
That's the situation that I'm in.
Want a T4? :-)
(note, I am UK based :-( )
I am running ldom 1.2 on a T2000 under Solaris 11.3 and following the
instructions here:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19227-01/820-7253/index.html
The primary domain was setup using the instructions here (using the
same names): https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19227-01/820-7253/createdefaultservices/ index.html
I created a logical domain and installed Solaris 10 within.
The admin guide states
(https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19227-01/820-7253/ enablenetworkbtwncsdomainandotherdomains/index.html):
By default, networking between the control domain and other domains in
the system is disabled. To enable this, the virtual switch device
should be configured as a network device.
Here starts my problem. The virtual switch vsw0 does not show up in
the primary domain.
How do I proceed?

Sounds like you have not configured it correctly.

Sorry -- what is "explorer output"?

Oh, I did not see that when I installed 11.3. "apropos oracle" finds nothing about that. (Ldom was installed in /usr/sbin.)

As it is disabled, providing others are available, then it will reboot.
(Personally, I'd take it out, reseat it and then attempt to clear the status).
or buy a new DIMM :_)
