Steps to Follow
Please validate that each troubleshooting step below is true for your environment. The steps will provide instructions or a link to a document, for validating the step and taking corrective action as necessary. The steps are ordered in the most appropriate sequence to isolate the issue and identify the proper resolution. Please do not skip a step.
Before attempting the following steps, please ensure the user account used has the appropriate RBAC profiles for LDOMs Management. The user either has to have to "LDoms Management" profile or just login as root. For more information on user authorization, please refer to the Security chapter of the LDoms Administration Guide.

Step 1. Ensure that the appropriate resources have been assigned to the domain.

Please refer to <Document: 1019970.1> Procedure to ensure appropriate LDOM resources are assigned to domains.

Step 2. Verify that VCPU/MAU resources are available for binding to the domain.

See <Document: 1019983.1> Steps to ensure proper binding of resources to LDOM domains.

At this point, if you have validated that each troubleshooting step above is true for your environment, and the issue still exists, further troubleshooting is required. Provide an Explorer output and open a Service Request. See <Document: 1020212.1> Data Collection for troubleshooting LDom issues.
