M servers use "Dynamic Domains", a completely different technology. Containers/Zones or Dynamic Domains don't have a OracleVM name... Either way, Oracle counts Oracle VM (for x86/x64) as a hard partitioning technology when you use cpu affinity (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/virtualization/ovm-hardpart-167739.pdf)... Its just another case where Oracle is favoring their own products with licensing. Peter. -- Censorship: noun, circa 1591. a: Relief of the burden of independent thinking. |
