Migrating from Third Party Virtualization Software to Oracle VM [28579]
Procedure Shows Steps to Manual Process
In a recent blog post, Simon Coter deals with the issue of migrating from third party virtualization software (ex. RH KVM, VMWare) to Oracle VM. He points out that support documentation states that support for Oracle products on non-Oracle VM platforms follows exactly the same stance as support for VMware and, so, the only x86 virtualization software solution certified for any Oracle product is "Oracle VM". Coter's post presents a step-by-step guide to "manually" migrate a guest machine from KVM to OVM. He promises a future post on manual migration of Virtual-Iron guests to OracleVM.

Procedure Demonstrates Storage of Solaris Zones on Shared Storage [28588]
Employs New Solaris Zones Feature: ZOSS
Jeff Victor posts a blog entry that describes and demonstrates the use of Zones on Shared Storage (ZOSS), which, he explains, is a significant new feature of Oracle Solaris Zones that enables the storage of Solaris Zones on shared storage. This makes for quick and easy migration of a zone from one system to another. Victor notes that VirtualBox is essential to this procedure and that it is better suited to a laboratory environment than to a production environment. There are 15 steps in Victor's procedure, for which he provides all the necessary code samples.

How to Use Automated Install Server to Simplify Non Global Zones Setup [28571]
Hands-off Procedure Enables Creation, Configuration
Orgad Kimchi has written a nine-step procedure for automating Solaris 11 Zones installation using the Automated Install server. As Kimchi writes, the paper demonstrates the benefits of using the Automated Install server to simplify the Non Global Zones setup, including the creation and configuration of the global zone manifest and the Solaris Zones profiles. He shows how to set up the Automated Install server to provide a hands-off installation process for the Global Zone and two Non Global Zones located on the same system.
