Provisioning Capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Ops Center Manager 12c [28096]
Two New Oracle Learning Videos
Two new videos on the Oracle Learning Youtube channel cover the provisioning capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 12c, Owen Allen reports. Both presentations are by Simon Hayler. According to Allen the first video shows how to provision Oracle Solaris zones, explaining how to create an Oracle Solaris Zone profile and then showing how to apply it (using a deployment plan) to a target system. The second video shows how to provision an x86 server with Oracle Solaris using a very similar process: you create an OS provisioning profile, then use a deployment plan to apply it to the target hardware.

It has been 20 years since the introduction of Solaris 2.0, Larry Wake observes, and in this anniversary year, Oracle announces Solaris 11.1, with new provisioning and update capabilities: the integration of Oracle ZFS, Zones, and IPS -- the new network repository and update system. Solaris 11.1 is designed to tie in to Oracle Solaris and the Oracle stack and to all the third party software, and SPARC and x86 hardware that's supported on Solaris. New features also include integrated network virtualization and the connected cloud management feature.

SPARC T4-4 Delivers World Record First Result on PeopleSoft Combined Benchmark [27918]
Mark Is First to Involve Concurrent Online and Batch Workloads
Oracle announces that its SPARC T4-4 servers running Oracle's PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 combined online and batch benchmark achieved World Record 18,000 concurrent users while executing a PeopleSoft Payroll batch job of 500,000 employees in 43.32 minutes and maintaining online users response time at < 2 seconds. This benchmark result is the first to involve the concurrent running of online and batch workloads. This record was set with a SPARC T4-4 server running Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and Oracle Solaris Zones, another running PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 application server and a SPARC T4-2 server running Oracle WebLogic Server in the web tier.

What's up with LDoms: Part 4 - Virtual Networking Explained [27921]
Physical vs. Virtual Switches and Networking: Not so Diffrerent After All
Stefan Hinker continues his "What's up with LDoms" series with part 4: which concentrates on virtual networking -- the capabilities of virtual switches and virtual network ports. Hiniker demystifies his subject by citing the similarities between virtual and physical switch hardware and cabling, demonstrating that the differences are minimal. His discussion covers assigning MAC addresses; using Jumbo Frames and sizing MTU throughput rates; and VLAN tagging for consolidation of traffic. He also advises users in a concluding note to assign each vnet device an explicit device-id that will preserve the configuration of guest systems.
