Oracle 10g is now certified & supported on Sun's Logical Domain (LDoms) feature for both single instances and RAC implementations. Working on a Sun's CoolThreads Server with Solaris, this technology allows the allocation of a system's resources into logical groupings. Each group is a discrete system with its own operating system, resources, and network identity operating within a single physical computer system. This allows an administrators to protect and isolate the groups from each other using a hardware/firmware combination.
With this certification, Oracle will fully support customer installations that deploy the Oracle 10g DBMS in an LDom partition in either a single instance or a RAC configuration. This will allow multiple Oracle 10g instances to operate independently on a single Sun CoolThreads (CMT) Server in full hardware level isolation.
How does licensing work in this configuration?

Jeff: The use of LDOMs does not currently reduce the licensing cpu count on the machine. Please contact Oracle for the specifics of your company's particular licensing situation.
