Oracle Solaris LDOM discovery
Discovery uses the Solaris Logical Domain (LDOM) infrastructure pattern and Solaris LDOM shared library pattern to find all LDOM data. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.
Discovery uses these patterns to run horizontal discovery. You can use the patterns on the ServiceNow AI Platform using the Australia release or later.
The Solaris LDOM infrastructure pattern is triggered automatically on Solaris Server discovery. The pattern verifies if there is an LDOM controller, and stops running if it doesn't find a controller.
The Solaris LDOM shared library pattern is run as an Extension Section to the Solaris Server pattern. The pattern modifies the Serial Number (SN) on LDOM machines so that it matches the SN populated by the Solaris LDOM infrastructure pattern. For further information about Solaris Server, see Solaris discovery.

Prerequisites
- LDOM commands when running the Solaris LDOM infrastructure pattern
- Ensure the relevant users have permissions to execute the following used commands for
the Solaris LDOM infrastructure pattern:
- "sudo /usr/sbin/virtinfo -a”
- "sudo /usr/sbin/ldm -V”
- "hostname”
- "svcs ldmd”
- "sudo /usr/sbin/ldm list-rsrc-group -a”
- "sudo /usr/sbin/sneep -T | grep ChassisSerialNumber 2> /dev/null”
- "/usr/sbin/prtdiag -v | awk '/Chassis Serial/{getline; getline; print}'"
- "sudo /usr/sbin/ldm list"
주:Some of these commands are used with conditions, and will not be executed on each discovery. For example, the main way to get the SN for servers is by using the ‘sneep’ command. However, this is not available by default on Solaris servers, so ‘prtdiag’ is used as an alternative method to get the SN.
- Important LDOM commands when running the Solaris LDOM shared library pattern
- Ensure the relevant users have permissions to execute the following used commands for
the Solaris LDOM shared library pattern:
- "sudo /usr/sbin/virtinfo -a”
- "sudo /usr/sbin/sneep -T | grep ChassisSerialNumber 2> /dev/null”
- "hostname”
Data collected by Discovery during horizontal discovery
The data discovered by both patterns includes the following tables and fields.
| Table and field | Description |
|---|---|
| Solaris Server [cmdb_ci_solaris_server] | |
| ldom_version | The LDOM version installed on the LDOM controller. |
| ldom_role | The LDOM role; "controller” or "guest”. |
| ldom_state | The state of the LDOM implementation on the LDOM controller. |
| serial_number | The serial number of the machines. |
| virtual | Whether or not a virtual machine (for Guest VMs) is used for the LDOM controller. |
| ram | The memory available on the LDOM controller. |
| cpu_core_count | The number of CPU cores on the LDOM controller. |
