CMIOU Configurations (SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 With Two PDomains)
Each PDomain in a SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 server that is configured with two static PDomains can consist of up to four of the eight CMIOUs in the chassis.
The following configurations are supported on a SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 server that has two PDomains.
-
CMIOU_0 and CMIOU_1 in PDomain_0 and
CMIOU_4 and CMIOU_5 in PDomain_1
-
CMIOU_0 – CMIOU_2 in PDomain_0 and
CMIOU_4 – CMIOU_6 in PDomain_1
-
CMIOU_0 – CMIOU_3 in PDomain_0 and
CMIOU_4 – CMIOU_7 in PDomain_1
Note - The SPARC M7-8 server with two PDomains is the only SPARC M7 server that can support SPARC M8 CMIOUs. SPARC M8 CMIOUs are supported in PDomain_1 (CMIOU_4 to CMIOU_7) of the SPARC M7-8 server with two PDomains. SPARC M8 CMIOUs are not supported in PDomain_0 (CMIOU_0 to CMIOU_3). SPARC M7 CMIOUs are not supported in SPARC M8-8 servers. See Mixed CMIOU Configurations for more information.
For information about the PCIe slots that are available in each of these configurations, see Understanding PCIe Card Device and Service Paths.
 | Caution - To prevent overheating, fill unused CMIOU slots with CMIOU filler panels. |
