Installing Cisco Access Registrar on LDoms
Server virtualization is partitioning of network servers into several independent execution environments.
Server virtualization allows a data center to be viewed and managed as a set of compute resources rather
than a room of individual systems.
Server virtualization feature in CAR will enable maximum resource utilization with dynamic resource
allocation between LDoms.
Note To know about configuration of CAR on LDoms, see White Paper under CAR Collateral in
