Steps to Follow

Below are two basic services needs to be running for the ldom to start/work properly.
Below are two basic services needs to be running for the ldom to start/work properly

1. svc:/ldoms/ldmd:default
2. svc:/ldoms/vntsd:default

From the above services we can see the ldmd is ldom service and vntsd is the virtual console service.

The state of the service should be online, rather than disabled /maintenance

If the State of the service is disabled we can try restarting it using /usr/sbin/svcadm (1M) command.

If the state of the service is in maintenance check the

/var/svc/log/ldoms-ldmd:default.log for the ldm logs
/var/svc/log/ldoms-vntsd:default.log for the vntsd logs

Also check in the /var/adm/messages file.

Use the ps (1M) command to check the process list whether the ldmd and vntsd is there in the process list or not

The below is the default configuration of the ldmd service and the vntsd service
