Hardware Error-Handling Overview

    The Oracle VM Server for SPARC software adds the following RAS capabilities for the SPARC enterprise-class platforms starting with SPARC T5 and SPARC M5:

  • Fault Management Architecture (FMA) blacklisting. When FMA detects faulty CPU or memory resources, Oracle VM Server for SPARC places them on a blacklist. A faulty resource that is on the blacklist cannot be reassigned to any domains until FMA marks it as being repaired.

  • Recovery mode. Automatically recover domain configurations that cannot be booted because of faulty or missing resources.

Though the Fujitsu M10 platform does not support this blacklisting of faulty resources, the Fujitsu M10 platform auto-replacement feature provides similar functionality.
