Securing the Compute Servers

One or two SPARC M7 servers (compute servers) are installed in SuperCluster M7, or one or two SPARC M8 servers (compute servers) are installed in SuperCluster M8. Each compute server is divided into two hardware partitions (two PDomains). Each PDomain includes half of the possible processors, memory, and PCIe expansion slots in the chassis. Both PDomains operate as a separate server within the same chassis. A redundant pair of service processor modules (SPMs) manages each partition.

You must secure each PDomain.

This section provides a set of security controls for the compute servers.
