Q. Consolidation Tool for Sun Fire Servers (Sun Fire T1000/T2000 Edition)

Posted by : Dr. Root | 16 June, 2006 | Published in

The Consolidation Tool for Sun Fire Servers V1.0, Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 Edition, is now available from sun.com.

The tool is designed to simplify the task of consolidating multiple applications onto the Sun Fire T1000 or T2000 platform.

In particular, it allows the easy definition and creation of Solaris Containers, deploys applications into processor sets where appropriate, and allocates CPUs into processor sets in a way that optimises performance. The software also takes full advantage of Solaris Containers (including Solaris Zones partitioning technology, pools, psets, and scheduling classes), making intelligent choices between full-root and sparse zones.

In addition, the tool installs versions of key public domain software on the target Sun Fire T1000 or T2000 system.

The functionality is achieved using a simple, easy-to-use interface with context-sensitive help. Configuration details are saved to allow the configuration to be reused easily on other Sun Fire T1000 or T2000 systems.

The tool is being made available as an open source, unsupported application.
