Check Text ( C-17584r371132_chk )
This action applies only to the control domain.

Determine the domain that you are currently securing.

# virtinfo
Domain role: LDoms control I/O service root
The current domain is the control domain, which is also an I/O domain, the service domain, and a root I/O domain.

If the current domain is not the control domain, this check does not apply.

Determine if vnsd is in use.

# svcs vntsd
STATE STIME FMRI
online Oct_08 svc:/ldoms/vntsd:default

If the state is not "online", this is not applicable.

Determine if a role has been created for domain console access.

# cat /etc/user_attr | grep solaris.vntsd.consoles
rolename::::type=role;auths=solaris.vntsd.consoles;profiles=All;roleauth=role

If a role for "vntsd.consoles" is not established, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-17582r371133_fix)
The root role is required. This action applies only to the control domain.

Determine the domain that you are currently securing.

# virtinfo
Domain role: LDoms control I/O service root
The current domain is the control domain, which is also an I/O domain, the service domain, and a root I/O domain.

Create a password-controlled role that has the solaris.vntsd.consoles authorization, which permits access to all domain consoles.

# roleadd -A solaris.vntsd.consoles [role-name]
# passwd [role-name]

Assign the new role to a user.
# usermod -R [role-name] [username]
