You can configure this server to have as few as one and as many as four physical domains (PDomains). Each PDomain has its own installation of the Oracle Solaris OS, as well as its own set of fans and I/O boards. Each PDomain operates as an independent server that has full hardware isolation from other PDomains in the chassis.
Note - By default, the server is configured with a single PDomain that has an Oracle Solaris boot disk located on IOB0. Each IOB has its own boot disk (the lowest numbered disk on each IOB). This ensures that if you reconfigure the platform to have more than one PDomain, a preinstalled version of the Oracle Solaris OS is available on each PDomain.
A hardware or software failure on one PDomain will not affect the other PDomains in the chassis. There are two redundant SPs (SP0 and SP1) in the chassis. One of the SPs functions as the Active-SP and actively manages the chassis, while the other acts as the Standby-SP that will assume the Active-SP role in the event of a failure. You can use the Oracle ILOM software that is preinstalled on each SP to remotely monitor and control PDomains.
The server has four domain configurable units (DCUs), which are the building blocks of PDomains. You must configure a PDomain with at least one DCU, but a single PDomain can contain as many as four DCUs. Each DCU has four CPU memory units (CMUs) that have two memory boards and two CPU memory processors (CMPs). Each DCU is managed by its own SP Proxy (SPP), which monitors environmental sensors and manages the CMUs, memory controller, and DIMMs within the DCU. The Active-SP and SPPs communicate over a private VLAN to manage the system.
One of the SPPs on each PDomain is identified as a PDomain-SPP, which manages tasks for its PDomain. The PDomain-SPP also hosts the rKVMS service for the PDomain. If a PDomain has more than one DCU, only the rKVMS service on the PDomain-SPP is used.
