PDomains Overview

Each PDomain has its own set of fans and I/O boards, and operates as an independent server that has full hardware isolation from other PDomains in the chassis. A hardware or software failure on one PDomain does 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 assumes 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.

There are two types of PDomains:

PDomain Type
Description
Nonbounded PDomain
The processors of a PDomain can communicate with the rest of the processors in the server. To enable the processor communication, processor data traffic is routed through the SSBs, which might indicate lower performance compared to a bounded PDomain.

A nonbounded PDomain can contain one to four DCUs.

Bounded PDomain
Each bounded PDomain contains only one DCU. The processors within a bounded PDomain can communicate only with each other and not with other processors in other DCUs. Since the processors communicate only within the DCU, bounded PDomains perform better than nonbounded PDomains.

Each server can contain either two or four PDomains, in the following configurations:
