OVM-SPARC (LDOM) presents a virtual interface if you virtualized the interface (which you should). It is called net0. In Solaris 11, ALL Ethernet interfaces are virtualized as netN

Basically, vmware virtualizes the hardware presented to virtual machines where virtual machines running on oracle vm will need native drivers. Is the above statement correct.....Do we need separate drivers for guest OS in oracle VM ??
