Specify CPU Resources in Configuration Worksheets (Prior to the Installation)

Use this task when completing your Configuration Worksheets prior to the SuperCluster installation.

Every CMIOU has 32 cores of CPU resources. The amount of CPU resources available for each domain varies, depending on the following factors:

  • The number of CMIOUs in each server

  • The domain configuration on each PDomain

  1. Determine the default CPU resources for the domains in your SuperCluster configuration.

    Refer to the applicable Domain Specifications in these sections:

  2. If the default CPU allocations are not ideal, determine and specify how many CPU resources should be assigned to each domain.

    Enter the number of CPU cores for each domain in the Configuration Worksheet.

    Example

    For a U2-2 domain configuration (two domains in a PDomain). by default, 50% of the CPU resources are assigned to each domain. Alternatively, you can specify different values for each domain, such as 60% of the CPU resources to the first domain and 40% to the second domain.

    In this example, the total CPU resources for U2-2 are 64 cores. A 60% / 40% configuration allocates these CPU resources (values are rounded):

    • Domain 1 – 38 cores

    • Domain 2 – 26 cores

  3. If any Database Domains will include zones, enter that information into the Configuration Worksheets.

    Enter the CPU resources for each zone in the Configuration Worksheet.

    Example

    The first domain is a Database Domain that will contain four equal-sized zones.

    Domain 1 has 38 cores. Subtract 2 cores (minimum required) for the Database Domain itself. That leaves 36 cores available for zones. 36 / 4 = 9 cores per zone.

  4. For Root Domains, specify the CPU resources for the Root Domain and I/O Domains.

    Enter the CPU resources for each I/O Domain in the Configuration Worksheet.

    Example:

    The second domain is a Root Domain that will support four equal-sized I/O Domains.

    Domain 2 has 26 cores. Subtract 2 cores (minimum required) for the Root Domain itself. That leaves 24 cores for I/O Domains. 24 / 4 = 6 cores per I/O Domain.
