Solaris and XtremIO Storage Connectivity Oracle VM Server for SPARC You can use Oracle VM Server for SPARC (formerly known as LDOMs) partitioning technology to allocate a system's various resources (such as CPUs, memory, and devices) into logical groupings and create multiple logical partitions. Each logical partition will be able to run a full instance of Solaris OS, resource, and identity within a single computer system. The Oracle VM Server for SPARC can create three local domains, as follows: • Control domain-Domain in which the OVM server for SPARC runs, enabling you to create and manage other logical domains and virtualize its resources for other domains. • Guest domain-Domain that is managed by the control domain and use services (virtual network, virtual console, and virtual disks) from the control domain. • I/O domain-Domain that has direct access to the physical I/O devices. Boot from SAN (BFS) for OVM server for SPARC is supported on the XtremIO device. The OVM Server for SPARC manager only runs on SPARC Enterprise T-series and SPARC M-series systems. Refer to the Dell EMC Support Matrix for the specific Oracle server model that supports OVM server for SPARC. You can obtain the OVM Server for SPARC software from Oracle.com. Refer to the Release Notes of the OVM Server for SPARC for system firmware and Solaris patches requirements from Oracle.com. Refer to the OVM Server for SPARC Administration Guide, available from Oracle.com, to install the OVM Server for SPARC software, download system firmware, set up services and logical domains, and learn about many other features of OVM Server for SPARC technology. IMPORTANT All EMC software applications, (such as PowerPath, Solutions Enabler, and Naviagent), only support on the domain that has direct access to the Dell EMC storage array, such as control domain and I/O domain. 118 Dell EMC Host Connectivity Guide for Oracle Solaris

Solaris and XtremIO Storage Connectivity
Oracle VM Server for SPARC
You can use Oracle VM Server for SPARC (formerly known as LDOMs) partitioning
technology to allocate a system's various resources (such as CPUs, memory, and devices) into
logical groupings and create multiple logical partitions. Each logical partition will be able to
run a full instance of Solaris OS, resource, and identity within a single computer system.
The Oracle VM Server for SPARC can create three local domains, as follows:
•
Control domain
—
Domain in which the OVM server for SPARC runs, enabling you to cre
-
ate and manage other logical domains and virtualize its resources for other domains.
•
Guest domain
—
Domain that is managed by the control domain and use services (virtual
network, virtual console, and virtual disks) from the control domain.
•
I/O domain
—
Domain that has direct access to the physical I/O devices.
Boot from SAN (BFS) for OVM server for SPARC is supported on the XtremIO device.
The OVM Server for SPARC manager only runs on SPARC Enterprise T-series and SPARC
M-series systems. Refer to the
Dell EMC Support Matrix
for the specific Oracle server model
that supports OVM server for SPARC.
You can obtain the OVM Server for SPARC software from
Oracle.com
.
Refer to the
Release Notes
of the OVM Server for SPARC for system firmware and Solaris
patches requirements from
Oracle.com.
Refer to the
OVM Server for SPARC Administration Guide,
available from
Oracle.com,
to
install the OVM Server for SPARC software, download system firmware, set up services and
logical domains, and learn about many other features of OVM Server for SPARC technology.
IMPORTANT
All EMC software applications, (such as PowerPath, Solutions Enabler, and Naviagent), only
support on the domain that has direct access to the Dell EMC storage array, such as control
domain and I/O domain.
