Overview of <strong>Veritas</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> Foundation <strong>and</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>Availability</strong> Virtualization <strong>Solutions</strong>About <strong>Veritas</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> Foundation <strong>and</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>Availability</strong> Virtualization <strong>Solutions</strong>15Reference onlineFor the latest information about this guide, see:http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/vascont/278.htmlAbout <strong>Veritas</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> Foundation <strong>and</strong> <strong>High</strong><strong>Availability</strong> Virtualization <strong>Solutions</strong><strong>Veritas</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> Foundation <strong>and</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>Availability</strong> Virtualization <strong>Solutions</strong> includessupport for non-global <strong>and</strong> Br<strong>and</strong>ed zones, Projects, <strong>and</strong> Oracle VM Server forSPARC.Solaris Zones, also known as non-global zones is an operating system-levelvirtualization technology, which provides a means of virtualizing operating systemservices to create an isolated environment for running applications. Non-globalzones function as completely isolated virtual servers with a single operatingsystem instance.Br<strong>and</strong>ed zones are an extension of the Solaris Zone infrastructure. A Br<strong>and</strong>edzone is a non-native zone that allows individual zones to emulate an operatingsystem environment other than the native environment of the global operatingsystem.Oracle VM Server for SPARC is a virtualization technology that enables the creationof independent virtual machine environments on the same physical system. OracleVM Server for SPARC provides a virtualized computing environment abstractedfrom all physical devices, which allows you to consolidate <strong>and</strong> centrally manageyour workloads on a system. The logical domains can be specified roles such as acontrol domain, service domain, I/O domain , <strong>and</strong> guest domain. Each domain isa full virtual machine where the operating systems can be started, stopped, <strong>and</strong>rebooted independently.The Solaris operating system provides a facility called projects to identifyworkloads. The project serves as an administrative tag, which you can use to groupuseful <strong>and</strong> related work. You can for example create one project for a salesapplication <strong>and</strong> another project for a marketing application. By placing allprocesses related to the sales application in the sales project <strong>and</strong> the processesfor the marketing application in the marketing project, you can separate <strong>and</strong>control the workloads in a way that makes sense to the business.
