What's New with Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.5
We are pleased to announce the release of Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.5, which has been delivered as part of Oracle Solaris 11.3.23.5.0 Support Repository Update (Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU 23.5.0). Together, they provide new features for virtualization, performance, security, scalability, and system management.
Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.5 introduces several new capabilities, including the following:
- Virtual networking is enhanced with 'reflective relay', which permits control over inter-domain network traffic so it can be directed to an external switch to enforce network policies like access control lists and packet filtering.
- Command history and message logging.
- Improvements to virtual Host Bus Adapter (vHBA), includes integration with SR-IOV
- Enhanced live migration, including:
- Allow live migration of domains with Ethernet SR-IOV devices
- Reduce cases where migration is blocked
- Migration with Silicon Secured Memory (SSM), also called Application Data Integrity (ADI) hardware-assisted checking.
- Native migration within a CPU chip family.
- Migration of domains with named memory and CPU resources.
- Save service processor configuration after a migration.
- Enhanced command output from 'ldm list-io' to show bus placement.
- Improved options for starting and stopping domains
