    You need to allocate at least one domain as a dedicated control and service domain, and possibly even as an i/o domain too. This domain should not run any applications, but is used to control resources of the machine and provide a management console.

    Then you will need to allocate your 5 guest LDOMs(domains) for applications. These guest domains share resources from the control domain. Their actual function(role) doesn't matter, as the different roles refer to how the server sees each machine, not how the user sees the machine.

    You may have to do a bit more research to decide how to allocate resources optimally, depending on the system requirements for each domain.
