Sun xVM Ops Center is a tool for data center automation and virtualization management of servers at high-scale. It contains features to control the hardware and software elements of the stack (real and virtual). Sun released the next update of the Sun xVM Ops Center at the end of May. Version 1.1 adds:

• Disconnected management: Register systems locally (not with Sun) in disconnected mode and connect to retrieve knowledge and content

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 support: Satellite and Proxy can be deployed on RHEL 5

• Enhanced Update and Job Management functionality: Edit, update, copy and rerun existing jobs; centralized viewing of patch inventory (display installed number of components x of x for a group of systems); agent Status page with Up and Down status; and "Simulate Only" role for the Update module

• ILOM2 compliance: Removed all hard-coding needed to gather model name, kernel and class on ILOM2 Service Processor systems

• Bug fixes

• Improved overall quality

In conjunction with this update, a new information site has been created. The Sun xVM Information Exchange provides links to the information sites for Sun xVM products and includes the new Sun xVM Ops Center 1.1 home page. A site guide for tips on how to navigate the site, register to gain access to more features, sign up to receive email notification of documentation changes and how to leave comments.
