Aehm, OracleVM for Sparc is the Sun LDom (Logical Domains) software and does 
not work on anything but T servers. M servers use "Dynamic Domains", a 
completely different technology. Containers/Zones or Dynamic Domains don't 
have a OracleVM name... 

Either way, Oracle counts Oracle VM (for x86/x64) as a hard partitioning 
technology when you use cpu affinity 
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/virtualization/ovm-
hardpart-167739.pdf)... Its just another case where Oracle is favoring their 
own products with licensing.
