Oracle VM Agent Deployment

Virtual Machine Server(s) may consume a large proportion of resources, and dedicated computers are often set aside for this.

In medium- to large-scale environments with more than just a few guests in a server pool, it is recommended that the Server Pool Master and Utility Server functions reside together, or individually, on a separate and dedicated physical server that does not host any guests, as illustrated in Server Pool 3. This is to prevent any significant Server Pool Master and Utility Server usage from impacting the performance of the workloads hosted in the guests.

The storage in Figure D–2, "Oracle VM deployment" is a mounted file system dedicated to the server pool, and stores the guests, external resources and other data files shared by servers on the server pool.

The decision on how to deploy Oracle VM Agent components is made with Oracle VM Manager. You cannot configure this from Oracle VM Server. You can set up Oracle VM Manager to manage your virtual machines, in any of the configurations in Figure D–2, "Oracle VM deployment". See the Oracle VM Manager User’s Guide for information on setting up the management of virtual machines and server pools.
