How To: Migrating Virtual Machines [30629]
A Collection of Guides to the Process
A major advantage available to users of Oracle VM Server for x86 or SPARC, Owen Allen writes, is the ability to migrate virtual machines. If two Oracle VM Servers are grouped together in a server pool under one Oracle VM Manager, users can perform a live migration to move an Oracle VM to a new server without shutting it down. There is now a collection of helpful guides to the process of VM migration that Allen provides links to in his post. These include a how-to, the Feature Reference Guide, and the How-To library itself.

The Role of Oracle VM Server for x86 in a Virtualization Strategy [30635]
Evaluating the Components and Operation of a Virtualized Environment
"The Role of Oracle VM Server for x86 in a Virtualization Strategy" is Matthias Pfützner's contribution to the series on virtualization. He considers the roles of both Oracle VM Manager and Oracle VM Server. He goes on to suggest that, given the complexity of large virtualization environments, a careful evaluation of TCO and/or ROI analysis is essential. As the underlying infrastructure becomes more and more a commodity, elements at higher levels become more and more important in the decision-making progress, and getting the "commodity" part from the same vendor that is supplying the higher-level elements might become an advantage.

Solaris 11 Network Virtualization now Possible with Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.0.0.2 [30627]
New Version Allows vNICs on VNets
Jeff Savit addresses the new capability in Oracle VM Server for SPARC, which is that version 3.0.0.2 now supports the removal of restrictions that in earlier versions prevented vNICs on VNets, further allowing Solaris 11 network virtualization. Now, instead of just consolidating servers, users can consolidate a data center's servers and network topologies into a single Solaris instance, setting up multiple isolated virtual networks, associating zones with the different virtual networks, and establishing rules for isolation, connectivity and quality of service (QoS). Savit goes on to explain the use of this new capability, providing the necessary code.

Oracle VM VirtualBox: Personal Desktop Virtualization [30634]
Detlef Drewanz Discusses Installation and Employment
In part 6 of an eight-part series Detlef Drewanz writes about "Oracle VM VirtualBox - Personal Desktop Virtualization" describing Oracle VM VirtualBox and its uses. Oracle VM VirtualBox requires an already-running host operating system on top of which it can be installed. Following installation one can simultaneously run multiple guest operating systems inside Oracle VM VirtualBox using multiple virtual machines (VMs). Oracle VM VirtualBox consists of three parts: the base software package; guest additions; and extension packs. Drewanz next addresses how data can be transferred to and from the guests through external iSCSI storage, with shared folders from the host or via network services.
