Use the tables in the following sections to record the following information for each SPARC T4-4 server:
The number of zones that you want to deploy on each Database Domain
The size of each zone that you want to deploy on each Database Domain (the number of cores and vCPUs)
The host names and IP addresses that will be assigned to each zone, if you know this information ahead of time, for the following networks:
Host management network
Client access network
InfiniBand network
VIP
Note that the worksheet for each SPARC T4-4 server has entries for 28 zones, which is the maximum number of zones that you can have on any Database Domain. However, you can have from 1 to 28 zones on each Database Domain, and the number of cores that you have allocated to those zones will vary, depending on the size of that zone. See Guidelines for Planning the Number of Zones and Clusters for more information.
Also refer to the information that you entered in the Recording Your Existing Configuration worksheets for each SPARC T4-4 server to determine the maximum number of zones that you can have on each Database Domain, and the maximum number of cores that are available for those zones, depending on the total number of domains on that server.
For example, if you have four domains on a server, then the maximum number of zones that you can have on any of the four domains would be six, and the maximum number of cores available for each of those domains would also be six. You could then choose any of the following zone configurations for each domain:
One zone, consisting of six cores (48 vCPUs)
Two zones, consisting of three cores (24 vCPUs) apiece
Six zones, consisting of one core (8 vCPUs) apiece
Enter the zone configuration information in the following worksheets:
