you need to configure Guest LDOMS and provide a portion of the vcpu resources to the guest
LDOMs and VM for Sparc are intended to allow you to partition the physical resources of the host into smaller manageable portions to allow for minimizing exposure for licensing purposes.
Oracle licenses are based on the number of cores available to the software for processing. Configuring a Guest LDOM and then only allow Xcores to be accessed by that LDOM will prevent you from having to license the whole server for use if you only need a smaller number of cores for processing that workload.
You've stated that your Sparc T5240 is configured with 4 cores (2 x cpu, 2 cores per cpu, 8 threads per core). So assuming you would only want to license 1/2 of those resources you need to build a Guest LDOM, assign it 16 VCPU and that will limit the resources to 1/2 of the available physical resources.
To do this you will need to create virtual infrastructure for the new LDOM (virtual networking, virtual disk servers, virtual disks,) and create the VM itself. This will require you to partition your disks and install an additional copy of the OS. I would recommend you use Solaris 11 if you can as the VM updates for that OS allow for a more robust config.
Hope this helps.

Apache::Session::Store::Oracle(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Apache::Session::Store::Oracle(3pm)
NAME
Apache::Session::Store::Oracle - Store persistent data in a Oracle database
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Store::Oracle;
my $store = new Apache::Session::Store::Oracle;
$store->insert($ref);
$store->update($ref);
$store->materialize($ref);
$store->remove($ref);
DESCRIPTION
Apache::Session::Store::Oracle fulfills the storage interface of Apache::Session. Session data is stored in a Oracle database.
SCHEMA
To use this module, you will need at least these columns in a table called 'sessions':
id varchar2(32) # or however long your session IDs are.
a_session long
To create this schema, you can execute this command using the sqlplus program:
CREATE TABLE sessions (
id varchar2(32) not null primary key,
a_session long
);
If you use some other command, ensure that there is a unique index on the table's id column.
CONFIGURATION
The module must know what datasource, username, and password to use when connecting to the database. These values can be set using the
options hash (see Apache::Session documentation). The options are DataSource, UserName, and Password.
Example:
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, {
DataSource => 'dbi:Oracle:database',
UserName => 'database_user',
Password => 'K00l'
};
Instead, you may pass in an already-opened DBI handle to your database.
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, {
Handle => $dbh
};
The last option is LongReadLen, which specifies the maximum size of the session object. If not supplied, the default maximum size is 8 KB.
