In Part One of this series we went through the initial configuration of our Logical Domain hypervisor, and took some time to explain the process of mapping out the PCI Root Complexes, so that we would be able to effectively split them between the primary and an alternate domain. In…
SPARC Logical Domains: Alternate Service Domains Part 2
In Part One of this series we went through the initial configuration of our Logical Domain hypervisor, and took some time to explain the process of mapping out the PCI Root Complexes, so that we would be able to effectively split them between the primary and an alternate domain. In…
SPARC Logical Domains: Alternate Service Domains Part 1
In this series we will be going over configuring alternate I/O and Service domains, with the goal of increasing the serviceability the SPARC T-Series servers without impacting other domains on the hypervisor. Essentially enabling rolling maintenance without having to rely on live migration or downtime. It is important to note,…
SPARC Logical Domains: Live Migration
One of the ways that we are able to accomplish regularly scheduled maintenance is by utilizing Live Migration, with this we can migrate workloads from one physical machine to another without having service interruption. The way that it is done with Logical Domains is much more flexible than with most…
Solaris Virtualization: Using Logical Domains on Solaris 11 Part Three
In our previous articles we built the foundation of our Logical Domains environment, which then enabled us to create a Logical Domain in part two. Now in the final article in this series we will be connecting to and performing the installation of the operating system. Solaris Virtualization: Using Logical…
