Configuration management | Provide hardware and software configuration data collection. |
Consolidation Planner | Determine optimal server consolidation scenarios by leveraging data collected by Cloud Control against business and technical constraints. |
Controlling/Service Domain | Configure Oracle VM Server for SPARC controlling or service domain attributes and monitor resource consumption. Manipulate vdisk allocation to VMs post-creation. |
Dynamic Resource Allocation | Provide for real-time changing of allocated resources using Oracle Solaris Container and Oracle VM Server for SPARC technology. |
Dynamic Topology | Maintain the child-to-parent relationship between the service processor, hypervisor, global zone, control domain, and virtual machine. |
Guest VM/Linux OS Patching | Provide automated host patching and integration with an Unbreakable Linux network (ULN). |
Historical Trending | View historical workload trends for Oracle Solaris Zones against one another on a central graph. |
Host monitoring and management | Monitor of Cloud Control component services, such as jobs and notifications. |
Hypervisor/OS Provisioning | Provide default templates for the creation of Oracle VM Server for SPARC controlling domain configuration. Ensure compatibility between embedded hypervisor components in the firmware and the bare metal OS layers above. |
Image Library Management | Maintain ISO and Oracle Solaris Flash Archive (FLAR) images for both physical and virtual provisioning. |
Infrastructure Management | Provide ready access to Home, Self-Service, Request Dashboard pages through the Infrastructure Cloud menu. |
