Virtualization tech adoption across Oracle
• Sun currently has 4 technologies that can be used
to achieve virtualization
> Dynamic System Domains
> Solaris Containers
> LDoms (paravirtualization – hypervisor in FW)
> Sun xVM (Ops Center and Server)

Sun & Oracle virtualization (contd)
• DSD has been around for several years and applies to the
Sun’s enterprise class servers only. Oracle db is being used
with it
• Containers – Oracle db (non-RAC) is certified, RAC
certification in progress
• Each Oracle application has a separate stand on containers
or LDoms certification and support. Details can be found on
Oracle CEpedia
• LDoms is Sun’s partitioning technology that is built into the
firmware of the CMT processors ( UltraSPARC T1 and T2).
Oracle db ( SI and RAC) has been tested and works
well.Work is in progress to achieve formal certification from
Oracle.

Is a LDom hard or soft partition ?
• Partitions created using Sun LDom’s technology
meet the hard partition category as outlined by
Oracle

Business Case
•Sun's CMT server product line offers the possibility
to create upto 64 logical domains within one physical
server – The Sun SPARC Enterprise Servers T5120 &
T5220
•This will increase to 256 virtual domains in the future
•Customers want to use Sun LDoms technology with
their Oracle databases ( single and RAC)
>Better utilization of resources
>Hard partitioning
•Customers want statement that Ldoms/Oracle
combination is supported

•Lufthansa
•PNC
•Royal Bank of Scotland
•Digica ( UK based outsourcing company)

Fundamentals
•Hypervisor is part of machine FW running on bare
metal
•This is paravirtualization; Modified OS on top of
sun4v hypervisor. Less overhead, better performance
•Hypervisor & stable sun4v interface decouples new
platforms from OS releases
•Each VM appears as an entirely independent
machine
>It's own kernel, patches, tuning parameters
>It's own user accounts, administrators
>It's own IO: disk and network (IP addr, MAC ID)

CPU & Memory

•CPU and memory are “partitioned” by LDoms
•SPARC-CMT hardware threads are expressed as
virtual CPU's
•Allocated to guests via the LDoms manager
•Dynamic reconfiguration is supported (CPU today, IO
and Memory in later release)

Logical Domain Roles
•Control domain - Creates and manages other logical
domains and services by communicating with the
hypervisor.
>This is where the LDoms Manager application runs
>Usually acting as a IO/Service domain also
•IO/Service domain – Has direct ownership and access to
IO devices and shares these with other logical domains in
the form of virtual devices; also provides services, such as
a virtual network switch or console to other logical domains.
•Guest domain - Uses services from the IO/Service
domain(s) and is managed by the control domain. This is
where the users typically run their workloads

Solution: Oracle certification with
LDoms
•Discussion and scoping
•What testing needs to be done to achieve
certification
>Oracle RAC + Ldoms
>Oracle RAC + Ldoms + Sun Cluster
•Number of nodes
•IO domain Vs Guest domain
•Test spec

Next steps
•Oracle database single instance and RAC now works within LDoms ( since
Solaris 10 Update 5). Basic testing has been done at Sun.
•Oracle RAC on IO domain will not completely satisfy customer requirements,
hence a certification using guest domains should be targeted.
•LDoms supports dynamic reconfig of CPU only, memory and storage cannot
be changed. Testing needed in the areas of IO starvation per domain, Dynamic
reconfig of CPU (Memory and storage cannot be dynamically reconfigured).
•A two phase certification is planned 1) Static 2) Dynamic
•A specific test plan needs to be designed for LDoms certification, based on
current Ldoms feature set. Paul Tsien, Carol Colrain and Winston Huang will
provide this to Sun.
• After test plan is defined, Sun will conduct testing. A whitepaper will be
generated from lessons learned during testing, which will be useful to joint
customers trying to deploy these two technologies.
