Several zone setup decisions and procedures are affected by the configuration choices that you made when you first purchased your SPARC SuperCluster T4-4. Record your existing configuration in the following tables, and use this information as a reference for certain zone setup decisions and procedures.
For each SPARC T4-4 server, provide the following information:
The total number of domains, both Application Domains and Database Domains, that you have on that server. This information will be used to determine the maximum number of cores that you can use for each zone that you create on the Database Domains on that server.
For example, if you have four total domains on a SPARC T4-4 server, then the maximum number of cores that you can assign to each zone created on any of those domains would be six. See Guidelines for Planning the Number of Zones and Clusters for more information.
Whether each domain is an Application Domain or a Database Domain. This information will be used mainly to help you remember specifically which domains are Database Domains on each server.
The specific location of each Database Domain (domain 1, domain 2, domain 3 or domain 4). This information will also be used to determine whether or not you must manually create VNETs for the host management network for certain Database Domains. See Host Management Network After Zone Creation for more information on the situations where you must manually create VNETs for certain Database Domains.
The 1 GbE host management host name and IP address for each domain.
