OEM13c Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (EMCC) with "plugin" Enterprise Manager for Systems Infrastucture - will support and "monitor-only" all Sun ILOM, and SPARC/x86 Solaris OS assets, storage arrays, etc, ** PLUS ** it will manage Linux assets (including Linux OS update patches, RMP, and OVMM ldom virtualization). OEM13c Enterprise Manager Cloud Control and 'plugin' Enterprise Manager for Systems Infrastructure' is a CURRENT product with an active engineering organization (including security fixes, etc, and new product updates)

(EOL'ed) end-of-life OEM12c OpsCenter (EMOC), will monitor and manage all Sun ILOM, and SPARC/x86 Solaris OS assets, storage arrays, etc (including Solaris 11 IPS pkg publisher, OS updates, OS provision, SPARC LDom virtualization, OS provision, CDOM server pools for ldom migration, etc). The [EC] Enterprise Controller, and [PC] Proxy Controller (often installed on same host [EC/PC]) are installed on SPARC/x86 Solaris OS servers (requiring huge disk space, like minimum 1TB, and 32GB memory). Of course, the OpsCenter product is (EOL), so its "painful" to install today, because of all the workarounds, and 'pkg facet lock, freeze' required for all the obsolete pkg software dependencies with no engineering/patches to fix.. and no (zero) security fixes possible for over a year now (significant vulnerabilities exist!).

All of your questions are in the obsolete OpsCenter 12.4.0 documentation. If you are considering a <new> deployment, I would suggest you are looking at the wrong product.

Managing Oracle Solaris Virtualization with JomaSoft VDCF 9.0
November 18, 2024 | 2 minute read

Product Manager

For many Oracle Solaris customers, virtualization on SPARC and x86 systems plays a
crucial role in supporting their workloads. Over the years, Oracle has provided tools
like Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center and Oracle VM Manager for SPARC to manage these
environments. However, with Extended Support for these products ending or already concluded,
organizations are exploring robust alternatives to continue managing their virtualization setups effectively.
JomaSoft VDCF 9.0

JomaSoft’s VDCF (Virtual Datacenter Cloud Framework) has emerged as a powerful alternative
for Oracle Solaris users. JomaSoft VDCF not only provides control over virtual environments
on Oracle SPARC and Oracle x86 systems but also offers comprehensive management for patching
Oracle Solaris 11 and 10, along with monitoring for Oracle hardware. The recent release of
VDCF version 9.0 introduces several significant capabilities, making it an attractive solution
for organizations looking to streamline their Oracle Solaris virtualization environments.

Here’s a look at some of the key features:

Control Domain Evacuation: VDCF now enables SPARC Guest Domains (GDoms) 
on one server to be migrated or evacuated to another compatible server 
within the same compute pool. This feature is beneficial for maintenance 
on the source Control Domain (CDom) or for responding to disaster recovery scenarios.

LDom Automated Failover: Leveraging VDCF’s hamon tool, the system can detect 
server failures and initiate automatic failovers of Guest Domains to other 
Control Domains. Positioned between manual failover and full-featured clustering, 
this feature is ideal for enhanced reliability without the complexity of full clustering.

Environment Staging for Nodes and Virtual Servers: VDCF allows users to define 
stages within their environment and assign these stages to CDoms, GDoms, and 
virtual servers (vServers). This staging concept restricts GDom migrations to 
Control Domains that support specific stages, allowing for clear separation between 
test and production environments.

OS Monitoring and Fault Management: Faults in the Solaris environment are 
automatically detected, reported, and alarmed, offering administrators real-time 
insight into system health and performance.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center and Oracle VM Manager Import: VDCF supports importing 
Logical Domains (LDoms) with configurations involving virtual Host Bus Adapter 
(vHBA), local disks, or ISCSI boot. This allows for a smooth transition of existing 
environments initially managed by Oracle VM Manager for SPARC or Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.

Flexible Licensing for Organizations of All Sizes

JomaSoft offers a free edition of VDCF for up to five servers,
making it accessible for smaller environments or testing purposes.
For larger setups, the commercial version provides additional support and scalability options,
allowing enterprises to fully leverage VDCF’s capabilities across extensive environments.

For Oracle Solaris users seeking a comprehensive, flexible management tool, JomaSoft VDCF 9.0 offers an
impressive suite of features tailored to meet modern virtualization needs.
