The Oracle VM Server for SPARC Templates commands enable you to create, deploy, and configure Oracle VM Server for SPARC templates for SPARC systems. These commands are based on the OVF template specification that includes disk image files and an XML descriptor of properties that is contained in an archive (.ova).
You run these commands in the control domain of an Oracle VM Server for SPARC system. In addition to running the commands on the command line, you can run them in a fully automated fashion or from other programs as part of a larger workflow.
The Oracle VM Server for SPARC template commands are:
ovmtconfig – Performs configuration operations directly on a domain's file system. The command backmounts the domain disks and associated ZFS file systems and then runs commands on the file systems. These commands can be further controlled by properties files and by specifying property name-value pairs. See the ovmtconfig(1M) man page.
Note that the ovmtconfig command requires that the guest domain run a version of the Oracle Solaris OS that is not newer than the version running on the control domain.
ovmtcreate – Creates a template from an existing Oracle VM Server for SPARC domain. See the ovmtcreate(1M) man page.
ovmtdeploy – Creates a domain from an Oracle VM Server for SPARC template. See the ovmtdeploy(1M) man page.
ovmtlibrary – Manages a database and file-system-based repository for Oracle VM Server for SPARC templates by organizing files, and storing, retrieving, and editing information in the database. See the ovmtlibrary(1M) man page.
ovmtprop – Enables you to view and set Oracle Solaris OS properties. The property is specified as a name-value pair. See the ovmtprop(1M) man page.
