The following table lists typical hardware configurations and the corresponding number of platform agents that can be deployed on the dedicated host system.
Table C–9 Dedicated Host: Sun Fire Platform Agent Capacity
Representative Hardware Configurations |
Maximum Number of Platform Agents |
---|---|
Sun Fire V120 with a single 650 MHz UltraSPARC IIe/i CPU, 2 Gbyte of RAM and 1 Gbyte of swap |
5 to 7 |
Sun Fire V440 with dual 1.2 GHz UltraSPARC III CPUs, 4 Gbytes of RAM and 1 Gbyte of swap |
14 to 20 |
Because platform agent resource use can vary, the limits shown in the table represent a range of acceptable values that leave sufficient capacity to ensure that operational peaks do not exhaust system capacity. Larger Sun Fire platforms require greater platform agent resources, with the result that fewer platform agents can be run on a single host. Conversely, smaller Sun Fire platforms require fewer platform agent resources, so more platform agents can be run on a single host.
