Single-Service Domain With Virtual I/O Configuration
This example uses logical domains implemented using Oracle VM Server for SPARC to partition and virtualize the system.
You can use a single-service domain configuration to provide services to virtual guest domains. One benefit of this is that such guest domains can be live migrated.
-
Uses virtual I/O services provided by the service domain.
-
Enables the use of a large number of small but isolated domains.
-
Enables live migration of the guest domains.
The following diagram shows a primary domain using the basic layout of the single-service domain with virtual I/O configuration. You can add up to 127 guest domains to this configuration. Or, you can create additional configurations with non-primary root domains that provide services to additional guest domains. The total number of possible non-primary root domains depends on the number of available root complexes and CPU cores, the amount of available memory, and especially, the requirements of the workload in each domain.
