About deploying SF Oracle RAC in Oracle VM Server for SPARC environments
Oracle VM Server for SPARC (earlier known as Logical Domains) from Oracle is a technology that allocates resources such as processors, memory, disks or network devices to logical containers and manages them as logical domains within the physical host. The resulting logical domain has its own operating system and manages resources independently in its realm.
A logical domain can be set up to function in any of the following roles:
Control domain | The Control domain is the physical host that has access to all physical resources on the system. The Oracle VM Server software, which is used for managing the guest and I/O domains, is installed on this domain. The Control domain can also serve as an I/O domain and provide services to other guest domains. |
I/O domain | The I/O domain has direct access to I/O devices. There can be a maximum of two I/O domains in a logical domain setup. The domain is also called as the service domain when it provides I/O services to other guest domains. |
Guest domain | The Guest domain uses the services delivered by the service domain to access physical devices. The Guest domain exists as an independent entity with virtual resources and own copy of operating system. |
Oracle VM Server for SPARC provides a cost-effective alternative architecture for deploying SF Oracle RAC. The same physical server can be used for multiple applications within various logical domains with optimal resource utilization. Oracle VM Server for SPARC is hardware-dependent and works with the latest SUN CoolThreads servers.
