ABSTRACT:
Logical Domains, or LDoms, is Sun’s built-in, no-cost hardware virtualization technology for servers and blade systems powered by UltraSPARC® T1, T2, and T2 Plus processors. These systems are equipped for massive scalability using chip multithreading (CMT) technology in which each of up to eight processor cores support up to eight concurrent execution threads each for a total of up to 64 threads per processor and up to 256 threads per server. The systems based on these processors deliver excellent performance for highly threaded applications, along with the lowest power consumption per thread of the current generation of processors.
The purpose of this Sun BluePrints™ article is to provide a simple set of steps for setting up and running a server with Logical Domains 1.2 software. This guide is not intended to be a comprehensive beginner's guide to LDoms. Instead, it intends to cover the use case of using Logical Domains in a laboratory environment for the first time.
