Creating an I/O Domain by Using Direct I/O

This chapter covers the following direct I/O topics:

Creating an I/O Domain by Assigning PCIe Endpoint Devices
Direct I/O Hardware and Software Requirements
Current Direct I/O Feature Limitations
Planning PCIe Endpoint Device Configuration
Rebooting the Root Domain With PCIe Endpoints Configured
Making PCIe Hardware Changes
Creating an I/O Domain by Assigning a PCIe Endpoint Device

Note - The direct I/O feature is not supported on servers starting with the SPARC M7, SPARC T7, and SPARC S7 series server. Instead, use the PCIe bus assignment feature. See Creating a Root Domain by Assigning PCIe Buses.
