Notes for When Recovery Mode of Oracle VM Server for SPARC is Enabled

Suppose that you add a system board using dynamic reconfiguration of physical partitions in the condition where the domain configuration has been recovered in the degraded configuration. The added resource is not allocated automatically to any logical domain. Allocate the added resource manually. Alternatively, execute the ldm set-spconfig command to select the original domain configuration and then reboot the physical partition using the poweron(8) and poweroff(8) commands.
Suppose that you dynamically delete a system board (PSB) using the deleteboard(8) command where the version of Oracle VM Server for SPARC is earlier than 3.2, after the domain configuration is recovered in the degraded configuration. This deleteboard(8) command may fail. After a domain configuration is recovered in the degraded configuration, do not delete a system board using dynamic reconfiguration of physical partitions.
Suppose the firmware is updated to XCP 2230 or later and the recovery mode supported in Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.1 or later is enabled. If the physical partition is started with the logical domain configuration information created with XCP 2221 or earlier after those operations, the following message may be output to the console of the physical partition.

warning: Configuration 'xxxx' could not be imported from the system controller.

This is because the recovery mode of the logical domain configuration information created with XCP 2221 or earlier is not enabled. Execute the ldm add-spconfig command of Oracle VM for SPARC on the control domain and save the logical domain configuration information.
