Oracle VM Server for SPARC is a virtualization technology on the Solaris SPARC platform that enables you to create multiple virtual systems called logical domains (LDoms), on a single physical host. The virtualized computing environment is abstracted from all physical devices and allows you to centrally manage your workloads on a system. The logical domains can be assigned different roles such as control domain, service domain, I/O domain, and guest domain. Each domain is a full virtual machine where operating systems can be started, stopped, and rebooted independently.
VCS uses the LDom agent to manage the Oracle VM Server for SPARC guest domains. Storage agents such as Disk agent, DiskGroup agent, and Zpool agent can be used to manage storage services provided to a guest domain. Network agents such as the network interface card (NIC) agent can be used to manage networking services provided to the guest domain.
VCS provides the following functions for LDoms:
