The Virtual Datacenter Control Framework
(VDCF) is a platform management framework for the Solaris Operating
System. VDCF allows to run a virtualized data center using Solaris 10
Containers and/or Logical Domains controlled by a centralized
management server.
The VDCF product family consists of a common
base framework and two separately available products. The VDCF vServer
product is used to manage Solaris 10 Containers (Zones). Deployment of
Logical Domains available on Sun CMT Server is provided by the VDCF
LDom product. To use both Virtualization technologies both products may
be combined to get the most flexibility and benefit.
With VDCF, JomaSoft offers a tool to simply
and effectively operate your Solaris 10 based virtual data center. On a
central management server you create definitions and configurations,
which are stored in the Configuration Repository. This information is
then used by VDCF to populate physical servers with a Solaris build
from which virtual servers or logical domains are created. Then VDCF is
used to manage the whole life cycle of these virtual objects: create,
migrate, start/stop, patch, remove, ...
