LDoms 1.2 is out!

LDoms 1.2 is now available. I've included a snippet of the initial marketing announcement below. There will be more official marketing activity in the coming weeks (including the updating of http://www.sun.com/ldoms), but the bits are available now.

The LDoms team is pleased to announce the availability of LDoms v1.2.

In this new release you will find the following features:

  • Support for CPU power management
  • Support for jumbo frames
  • Restriction of delayed reconfiguration operations to the control domain
  • Support for configuring domain dependencies
  • Support for autorecovery of configurations
  • Support for physical-to-virtual migration tool
  • Support for configuration assistant tools.
We look forward to you downloading LDoms Manager v1.2 now from here. The full documentation set for LDoms 1.2 can be found here.

In addition, as I mention here, this release fully enables the enhanced FMA IO fault diagnosis changes introduced into the Solaris 10 5/09 release (aka s10u7).

UPDATE: One important thing I forgot to mention is that this release supports OpenSolaris 2009.06 for SPARC. OpenSolaris can be run either as the control/io/service domain or within a guest domain. In addition, the LDoms 1.2 LDom Manager & related files are available as an IPS package in the /dev repository under SUNWldom.
CORRECTION: I jumped the gun: the IPS package with LDoms 1.2 is not quite ready yet, but should be available very soon. When it is, it'll be under "ldomsmanager".

Enjoy!

UPDATE 2: LDoms 1.2 is now available via IPS. Details here.
