Each logical domain runs in dedicated CPU thread(s)
Oracle VM Server for SPARC (previously called Sun Logical Domains) provides highly efficient, enterprise-class virtualization capabilities for Sun SPARC Enterprise Systems with Chip Multithreading (CMT) technology. Oracle VM Server for SPARC leverages the built-in SPARC hypervisor to subdivide supported platforms' resources (CPUs, memory, network, and storage) by creating partitions called logical (or virtual) domains. Each logical domain can run an independent operating system. Oracle VM Server for SPARC provides the flexibility to deploy multiple Oracle Solaris operating systems simultaneously on a single platform. Oracle VM Server also allows you to create up to 128 virtual servers on one system to take advantage of the massive thread scale offered by the CMT architecture.

12. Oracle VM Server for SPARC For T-Series Servers
Oracle VM Server for SPARC allows you to create up to 128 virtual servers on one system to take advantage of the massive thread scale offered by the chip multi- threading architecture of the SPARC Enterprise T-Series servers. Oracle VM Server for SPARC integrates and optimizes with Oracle Solaris operating system, you can take advantage of Oracle Solaris ZFS, DTrace, Predictive self healing and Solaris Containers. This combination of Oracle Solaris and SPARC helps to increase flexibility, isolate workload processing, and improve the potential for maximum server utilization. To name a few benefits, We provide dynamic reconfiguration capabilities of CPU, crypto unit, and virtual I/O. We further enable resource management policy to trigger the automatic addition and removal of CPUs. This ability helps you to better align with your IT and business priorities. Each logical domain is an entirely independent virtual machine with its own OS. It supports virtual disk mutipathing and failover as well as faster network failover. Moreover, it's fully integrated with Solaris FMA (Fault Management Architecture), which enables predictive self healing. We’ve Improved active domain migration performance by compressing memory transfers and taking advantage of cryptographic acceleration hardware. These methods provide faster migration for load balancing, power saving, and planned maintenance.

Oracle VM Manager is free from a license perspective, but also advanced in functionality
Oracle VM helps by providing advanced VM availability management:
Secure Live Migration eliminates outages from planned downtime –
Migrate running VMs from one physical server to another securely.
Oracle VM is the first major virtualization solution to SSL-encrypt migration traffic by default to protect sensitive data from exploitation. Most migration products don’t offer native encryption, creating vulnerabilities, and necessitating dedicated migration networks unless you incur the extra complexity and expense to purchase SSL hardware;
Guest VM High Availability features minimize unplanned outages –
Included VM High Availability functionality automatically restarts individual failed VMs or entire sets of VMs that were running on a failed server;
Flexible deployment: Use with NFS (NAS) or OCFS2 (SAN/iSCSI)
About the Pool Master Agent:
In each Server Pool, there is a Server Pool Master Agent that coordinates a number of the activities of the pool, particularly when that action requires coordination across multiple servers. This includes such key activities as coordinating Secure Live Migration actions as well as Guest VM HA auto-restart actions amongst others.
Should a failure of the pool master server occur, the pool master role is automatically- and transparently migrated to another healthy server in the pool
