Solaris Custom Incorporations. Starting with the Oct 2016 QFSDP, IDRs have been replaced with Solaris CIs.
A SuperCluster LDom category that includes the domains configured at installation time as either a Database Domain or an Application Domain (running the Oracle Solaris 11 OS). Dedicated domains have direct access to the 10GbE NICs and IB HCAs (and Fibre Channel cards, if present). See also Database Domain and Application Domain.
If you have Root Domains, you create I/O Domains with your choice of resources at the time. The SuperCluster Virtual Assistant lets you assign resources to I/O Domains from the CPU and memory repositories, and from virtual functions hosted by Root Domains. When you create an I/O Domain, you assign it as a Database Domain or Application Domain running the Oracle Solaris 11 OS. See also Root Domains.
The original name of the SuperCluster Virtual Assistant. See SuperCluster Virtual Assistant.
Logical domain. A virtual machine comprising a discrete logical grouping of resources that has its own OS and identity within a single computer system. LDoms are created using Oracle VM Server for SPARC software.
CPU and memory resources that are set aside in the CPU and memory repositories. You assign parked resources to I/O Domains with the SuperCluster Virtual Assistant.
Physical domain. Each PDomain on the compute server is an independently configurable and bootable entity with full hardware domain isolation for fault isolation and security.
Physical function. Functions provided by physical I/O devices, such as the IB HCAs, 10GbE NICs, and any Fibre Channel cards installed in the PCIe slots. Logical devices, or virtual functions (VFs), are created from PFs, with each PF hosting 32 VFs.
A logical domain that is configured at installation time. Root Domains are required if you plan to configure I/O Domains. Root Domains host PFs from which I/O Domains derive VFs. The majority of Root Domain CPU and memory resources are parked for later use by I/O Domains.
Single Client Access Name. A feature used in RAC environments that provides a single name for clients to access any Oracle Database running in a cluster. See also RAC.
A major component of SuperCluster that provides the main compute resources. Referred to in this documentation using the shortened name “compute server.” See also compute server.
Enables you to manage the life cycle of I/O domains on SuperCluster systems. Formerly called the I/O Domain Creation Tool.
Segregates traffic between network interfaces, so that you see only the traffic on your virtual network.
