Hi Everyone, I think these are great ideas. Having "Live Migration", clustering in the Control domain, cluster agents in the guest domains, etc. are definitely major "must haves" for customers. I'd like to add a few more:
1. Centralized Management for LDom's. People are going to have anywhere from dozens to thousands of these servers. They need a centralized way to manage them. 2. Secure Virtual Console. The access to the virtual consoles should be secured to keep unauthorized users/operators/etc from accessing the console of a guest domain that might contain sensitive information. Not sure if this should be done through RBAC, but it should be capable of being centrally managed. 3. Bridged? Virtual Switches. It would be nice to take two or more virtual switches and have them deal with link failure. This would prevent to use of IPMP in a guest domain and save valuable IP's for a company. So basicly you could have e1000g0 and e1000g2 turned into VSW's that can be connected to be on the same VLAN, but have two paths out to the real network. Auto-detect link failure and redirect traffic. This could help save customers a lot of extra costs and complexity. 4. ldm list-diskio. Show the amount of disk I/O per ldom. Break out the vdsdevs per ldom. 5. ldm list-netio. Show the amount of network I/O per ldom. Break out the vnets per ldom. Also show the traffic flowing in/out of the vsw's. 6. ldm reset-ldc <channel id>. Reset an ldc that is hung. Those are just some ideas I was thinking about this week. I'll enter some RFE's around this today. --- Brandorr <brandorr at opensolaris.org> wrote: > First let me say, Welcome to Opensolaris.org!! > > I've been patiently waiting to let you know what I would like to see. > > 1) The ability to have more than one LDOM run on given set of HW > core/threads.
