12. What is Oracle VM?
• Oracle VM is server virtualization software which
fully supports both Oracle and non-Oracle
Applications.
• Oracle VM includes two components :
• Oracle VM Server
• Oracle VM Manager
• Freely downloadable, freely redistributable and
usable.
• Each VM consists of an operating system and a
predefined set of resources from the hardware
called a domain.
• Oracle VM Manager includes easy-to-use, rich,
graphical interface for managing virtual server
pools, running on x86 based systems.

13. What is New in Oracle VM 3.0
• Improved Scalability and Performance
• Oracle VM can support physical servers totaling up to physical 160 CPUs and
2TB memory and 128 virtual CPUs per VM.
• Automated Policy-Based Resource Management:
• Improves application Quality of Service (QoS) and reduce power consumption for
maximum operational efficiency by dynamically relocating running VMs across a
server pool based on load.
• Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS) for capacity
management:
• Provides real-time monitoring of Oracle VM Server utilization to rebalance a
server pool and provide consistent resources to the running VMs. DRS migrates
VMs away from heavily loaded Oracle VM Servers to those servers with more
resources available.
• Distributed Power Management (DPM)
• DPM complements DRS to reduce the number of powered-on servers in the pool
when there are periods of low resource utilization. It can automatically power-on
capacity as needed when resource utilization ramps up.

14. What is New in Oracle VM 3.0 ...cont’d
• Storage Connect Storage Configuration and Management
• Oracle VM Storage Connect is a plug-in API
• Allows the Oracle VM Manager to automatically discover available storage
• Allows Oracle VM Manager to directly leverage the resources and
functionality of customers’ existing storage systems in the Oracle VM
environment
• Supports native storage services such as SAN or NFS storage creation,
deletion and expansion
• Allows users of Oracle VM Manager to configure storage to be used with
a virtual machine through various storage management vendors. Fujitsu,
Hitachi Data Systems, and NetApp are among those enlisted to provide
access to their systems through Oracle VM Storage Connect. Oracle's
own Pillar Axiom SAN storage system and Sun ZFS Storage Appliance
also work through the Storage Connect API)

15. What is New in Oracle VM 3.0 ...cont’d
• Centralized network configuration and management
• Oracle VM Server logical network configuration and management is now
performed using Oracle VM Manager; for example, NIC port bonding, and
configuring VLAN Networks.
• Updated Xen 4.0 hypervisor
• More efficient power management capabilities, broader hardware support,
better performance, and greater scalability and security for both hardware-
virtualized and para-virtualized guest operating systems.
• Updated Dom0 command and control kernel with the
latest drivers
• Enhanced hardware support for higher performance, leveraging the latest
Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel.
• Updated OCFS2 1.8 cluster file system
• Instant clone support that provides significantly faster virtual machine
provisioning and cloning.

16. What is New in Oracle VM 3.0 ...cont’d
• Support for Open Virtualization Format (OVF)
• OVF is an open standard for packaging and distributing virtual appliances.
• Customers can now use Oracle VM Manager to import a broad range of
OVF based software assemblies, all of which are produced by Oracle to
accelerate application deployment.
• Browser Based Manageability from Anywhere
• Oracle VM GUI is pure browser-based: with no client software required,
and provides accessibility from “anywhere” on the web.
• Dynamic user interface
• Based on the latest Oracle ADF dynamic html capabilities, the Oracle VM
Manager now includes a fully interactive tree view and automatic refresh
to show the real-time state of the physical and virtual environment.
• Server and storage discovery
• Discover Oracle VM servers and storage in your environment to quickly
get large numbers of servers up and running.

17. What is New in Oracle VM 3.0 ...cont’d
• Job management framework
• Every Oracle VM Manager operation is performed as a “job”. A job
consists of all the steps involved in the successful completion of the
operation. For each job, Oracle VM Manager provides status, such as
percent complete, each step completed, and the steps remaining.
Through the GUI, an administrator can view and abort a job at any time,
or if the job is aborted by the system because of a terminal failure, the
state is rolled back to its original state.
• Extensive event logging
• Oracle VM Manager maintains an extensive event or “job” history that is
accessible through the Manager GUI, providing a simple way to see who
made changes within the environment and to trace failures.
• Resource information
• Performance statistics are available for CPU, memory, disk and network
for each physical server and virtual machine Events are displayed for
each physical and virtual object, such as port up/down status. IP address
and other configuration information are displayed directly in the user
interface.
