Emulex Supports LightPulse HBAs with Oracle's Xen Virtualization


Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX) today announced that its LightPulse® Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) are supported with the new Oracle® VM server virtualization software. Emulex has taken a leadership position in connecting virtual servers to the SAN, enabling end users to more effectively utilize their resources and more easily adjust to changing demand.

Unveiled today at Oracle OpenWorld, Oracle VM offers scalable, low-cost server virtualization which fully supports both Oracle and non-Oracle applications. This is the only server virtualization environment certified to run with an entire Oracle software stack, including Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware, the Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise, Siebel CRM and other Oracle Applications.

"With the proliferation of server virtualization, Emulex continues to lead the way in I/O connectivity for virtual server environments, such as Oracle VM," said Mike Smith, executive vice president, worldwide marketing, Emulex Corp. "Emulex LightPulse Virtual HBA technology provides an innovative solution that enables storage administrators to manage connections from virtualized machines in the same way, and with the same management tools, as traditional physical servers."

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
