The only feature immediately unlocked with S10 10/09 (aka S10U8) is crypto DR (dynamic reconfiguration). This means you can add & remove crypto units while the domain is running. It _also_ means you're no longer prevented from performing cpu DR if the domain has any crypto units bound to it. Among other things, this greatly simplifies reconfiguring a system from the factory-default single domain to a minimized control domain (as is required prior to creating guest domains).
Other features (e.g. link-based IPMP) are included in the latest S10 update release, but require a new version of LDoms Manager to access. These will be available with LDoms 1.3, coming early in 2010. That's the good news. Here's the bad news. The latest Solaris update tickles a few bugs in LDoms in the areas of power management & domain migration. We're feverishly working on a patch for LDoms 1.2 that'll address these issues. Currently it is scheduled to be available in a couple weeks (assuming testing & verification go well). In the meantime it's recommended to not update your control domain to S10U8 if you want to use domain migration. Also, we recommend you not update any of your domains if you're enabling the "elastic" power management policy. -Eric On Oct 12, 2009, at 6:44 AM, Steve Goldthorpe wrote: > Anyone know if there are any LDoms features unlocked with the new > Solaris 10 update release? > > -Waistcoat > -- > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > ldoms-discuss mailing list > ldoms-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ldoms-discuss -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
