Introduction
This guide provides detailed information on configuring the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and SPARC M10 server systems. It is intended for system administrators with advanced knowledge of computer networks and Oracle Solaris, offering insights into managing hardware resources and system partitioning.
Key Concepts
- Physical Partitions (PPARs): Learn about hardware isolation, management, and configuration of physical partitions within the SPARC systems.
- Logical Domains (LDoms): Understand how to create and manage multiple logical domains for running different operating systems and applications on a single physical system.
- Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR): Explore the capabilities for adding or removing hardware resources (CPUs, memory, I/O) to and from physical partitions without interrupting system operations.
Hardware and Configuration
The document details the hardware resources of the SPARC M12/M10 systems, including CPU, memory, and I/O capabilities. It explains how these resources are managed and assigned through physical and logical domain configurations, including considerations for mixed processor types (SPARC64 X+ and SPARC64 X).
Operations and Settings
Discover the essential XSCF shell commands and system settings required for effective domain configuration, management, and dynamic reconfiguration. This includes understanding system board status, CPU activation, and various operational modes.
