The developers of LDOMs gave the users of the T1 and T2(+) based system a nice christmas present: The 1.1 version of the LDOMs. This update provides some interesting new features:

a new XML based interface to manage Logical Domains
"Guest Domain Migration provides the capability to migrate a guest logical domain from one server to another compatible server. If active, the domain on the source server is suspended, and its configuration and run-time state are transferred to another server, where the domain is recreated and resumed."
Virtual Input/Output (I/O) Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) provides the ability to add and remove virtual I/O services and devices without rebooting
Enhanced Networking subsystem

"Network Interface Unit (NIU) Hybrid I/O provides support for a virtualized I/O path, a hybrid I/O path, and better performance and scalability. "
"VLAN Support provides the capability to configure and use virtual local area networks (VLANs) in logical domains"

Enhanced Storage subsystem

Virtual Disk Failover adds support for disk multipathing
Single-Slice Disk Enhancement allows installing the Solaris OS on a single-slice disk.

New and Changed CLI ldm Subcommands

You can download the new version of LDoms at at the Sun website.

End of Year Updates
It's that time of year again. The time when the major care and feeding of servers, notebooks, and desktops gets done. Cleaning up the hard drives, checking on software updates and finding time to install new items. First I saw over on my favorite Solaris blog that LDOM 1.1 is now out with nice new features I have been waiting on. Then Hsphere (or Psoft or Parallels) Finally released hsphere with support for FreeBSD 7. That then spawned the process to update one of my FreeBSD boxes to FreeBSD…
