Logical Domains (LDoms) 1.0 Software

The Logical Domains (LDoms) 1.0 software enables system administrators to create and manage logical domains. This software provides multiple software partition support and the following features for Sun4v-based platforms:

• Software upgrade to UltraSPARC T1 systems (Solaris 10 11/06 and firmware upgrade)

• Up to 32 logical domains per system, managed by a CLI, the Logical Domains (LDoms) Manager 1.0 software, which is a separate download

• Each guest domain can be created, destroyed, reconfigured, and rebooted independently

• Virtual console, Ethernet, disk, and cryptographic acceleration

• Live dynamic reconfiguration of virtual CPUs

• Fault management architecture (FMA) diagnosis for each logical domain

In addition to the Solaris 10 11/06 OS, a minimum level of system firmware 6.4 and Logical Domains Manager 1.0 software is required to have Logical Domains functionality.
