Moving logical domains requires careful consideration, with special attention given to assessing the domain’s hardware resources, software applications, data, and performance characteristics. The target system that receives the domain must match some aspects of the source system’s configuration, such as the storage space. Other resources such as CPU and memory, can be changed as the guest domain is migrated to the target system.
The configuration of logical domains differ in many aspects. This chapter takes into account variations that are typically found in a virtualized compute environment, and includes a variety of Oracle Solaris and Oracle VM Server for SPARC commands that you can run to assess your environment.
These topics describe how to assess the source and target systems:
