■ Terminal server (or a touch panel connected to a terminal server)
Note – For the console connection method, see the SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000
Servers Installation Guide.
■ Partitioning function
One high-end server can be divided into multiple areas, or domains, for more
effective scalability. Each domain manages resources in linkage with the XSCF. A
domain may consist of optimized resources depending on its intended use,
enabling more efficient system configurations.
Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) enables adding, deleting, and relocating resources
of domains without stopping processing in the domain. This enables dynamic
reconfiguration of resources without stopping a job, even when the job load
increases suddenly or when a faulty component is replaced.
For details on domain functions, see the SPARC Enterprise
M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers Administration Guide.
For details of the DR function, see the SPARC Enterprise
M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) User’s Guide.
■ The Oracle Solaris OS (Oracle Solaris 10 or later) is supported.
With an added function for error prediction and self-recovery by the system
(Predictive Self-Healing) and enhanced process privilege management and
network functions, the Oracle Solaris OS sets new standards for performance,
efficiency, availability, and security.
■ Capacity on Demand (COD)
The Capacity on Demand (COD) feature allows you to configure spare processing
resources on your server in the form of one or more COD CPUs which can be
activated at a later date when additional processing power is needed.
For details, see the SPARC
SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers
