HDLM supports LDoms in a virtualization environment.
LDoms consist of a control domain, and one or more service domains, I/O
domains, and guest domains.
The following describes domains supported by HDLM.
•
If the control domain and the I/O domains that manage the HBAs for
HDLM-managed storage are not separated:
¢
HDLM can be installed in the control domain.
Only domains including I/O domains that manage the HBAs connected
to HDLM-managed storage are supported.
¢
HDLM cannot be installed in the guest domain.
•
If the control domain and the I/O domains that manage the HBAs for
