SRM (Solaris Resource Manager) used to be a separate ($$$) product but was
announced (not sure about this..) as bundled with Solaris 9. Is this true?
And has anyone been successful in using this in previous Solaris releases
(Solaris 8?) sepcifically in consolidating DB instances/Apps in just one
server? With SRM, a single large server could presumably be used to
effectively "host" a number of DB instances or Apps - each with pre-defined
"resources" allocated to it so no one instance/apps gobbles up ann entire
server's resources.
While this may be a good thing - I hope future Solaris versions would take a
look at virtual servers (virtual machines or partitions - a la Vmware) so
instead of wasting resources on large server configurations, full resource
utilizations can be realized. Physical partitions (currently implemented as
Domains on 10K's, 12K's, 15K's, x800's) but I would think having virtual
machine capabilities would even extend Solaris' lead in the UNIX market...
Thanks.
