Increasing Availability with SFHA in Multiple-IO domain configuration on Oracle VM for SPARC

The LDom technology provides a very cost-effective alternative architecture for deploying  SFHA. The same physical server can be used for multiple applications within various logical domains with optimal resource utilization. The underlying hardware availability is increased by using the Split-PCI bus technology that the CMT servers provide and the SFHA component completes the availability by ensuring higher uptime for applications by monitoring the device paths through all I/O domains.

The attached documet provides detailed steps and scenarios that can be configured where guest domains have storage and network devices being provided through multiple IO domains.
