LDom Level Considerations

At the LDom level, you should make a decision on the type of configuration PDomain that would be on each compute server (base or extended) and how much memory resources would be allocated to a specific LDom within that configuration PDomain.

For example, assume that you want 4096 GB of memory resources to be allocated to a specific LDom. The following table explains how certain factors such as the amount of available storage and PCIe slots would differ depending on the overall configuration PDomain that would be used for this LDom.

Configuration PDomain Type
LDOM Config
# of CMUs in DCU
Size of Memory in CMUs
Calculations
Notes
Base
LDom in B4-1
4 (Fully-Populated)
16 GB
  • B4-1 LDom = 4 CMUs (8 CMPs), or 256 DIMM slots
  • 256 DIMMs slots x 16 GB DIMMs = 4096 GB memory

  • All four EMSs
  • 6 available HDDs

  • 11 available PCIe slots

Base
LDom in B2-1
2 (Half-Populated)
32 GB
  • B2-1 LDom = 2 CMUs (4 CMPs), or 128 DIMM slots
  • 128 DIMMs slots x 32 GB DIMMs = 4096 GB memory

  • All four EMSs
  • 6 available HDDs

  • 11 available PCIe slots

Base
Either LDom in B4-2
4 (Fully-Populated)
32 GB
  • Either LDom in B4-2 = 2 CMUs (4 CMPs), or 128 DIMM slots
  • 128 DIMMs slots x 32 GB DIMMs = 4096 GB memory

  • Two EMSs
  • 2 available HDDs

  • 5 or 6 available PCIe slots

Extended
LDom in E2-1
2 (Half-Populated)
16 GB
  • E2-1 LDom = 4 CMUs (8 CMPs), or 256 DIMM slots
  • 256 DIMMs slots x 16 GB DIMMs = 4096 GB memory

  • Eight EMSs (all four from each DCU)
  • 14 available HDDs

  • 22 available PCIe slots

Extended
Second LDom in E4-2
4 (Fully-Populated)
32 GB
  • Second LDom in B4-2 = 2 CMU (4 CMPs), or 128 DIMM slots
  • 128 DIMMs slots x 32 GB DIMMs = 4096 GB memory

  • Two EMSs
  • 2 available HDDs

  • 6 available PCIe slots
