How to view LDOM configuration as non-root user
If you try to view LDOM configuration information as a non-root user under Solaris, you will get the following error:
$ /opt/SUNWldm/bin/ldm ls Authorization failed
To get around this you can assign the “LDoms Review” profile to grant this privilege to a given user, i.e.:
$ su - # usermod -P "LDoms Review" username # profiles username LDoms Review Basic Solaris User All
Now, you can view the LDOM Configuration as the non-privileged user to which the privilege was assigned:
$ /opt/SUNWldm/bin/ldm ls Name State Flags Cons VCPU Memory Util Uptime primary active -n-cv SP 4 1G 0.3% 7d 23h 48m alpha active -n--- 5000 6 4G 0.2% 7d 19h 55m bravo active -n--- 5001 6 4G 0.2% 5d 31h 29m charlie active -n--- 5002 6 4G 0.2% 5d 31h 29m
