Hi:

I'm dealing with the installation of new HW, but facing issues to sizing the partitions size or reservations since the HW have 1TB of RAM. Of course will use Solaris 11.

As you may guest some of the boxes will be used with LDOM and others not.

I don't know if that matter since if a crash of the whole system (AFAIK ldom crash will shut the io-ldoms and guest domains as well; correct me if I wrong).

the size of the swap/dump area needs to hold the crash dump files.

Since the boxes are loaded with 600GB SAS drives I was thinking if a 450GB dump reservation with save compressed on will hold the 1TB RAM on a crash dump event.
