XSCF> version -c cmu -v

[If you hv finished on upgrading the firmware or there are no firmware issue, then
make sure the device status again with showhardconf and showstatus command.

Domain Creation step

=================================================

1. Static domain Add and remove boards in an inactive domain

2. Dynamic domain Add and remove boards in an active domain using solaris 10 DR
(dynamic reconfiguration) operation.

We will be creating a static domain in this example. Before start creating the
domain let us see the basic terminologies and their meanings.

Terminology

Meaning

PSB
Physical system board. Consists of CPU, memory and I/O

XSB

eXtended system board. PSB can be configured as uni-board (00-0) with all
components assigned to it or quad board (00-0, 00-1, 00-2, 00-3) with components
assigned individually to these XSBs. The xx-y number specifies xx as PSB and y as
number of partitions of PSB.

LSB

Logical system board. XSBs must be assigned to LSBs to create domain (16 LSBs per
domain)

DID

Domain ID

CPUM

CPU module

MEMB

Memory board

Supported number of domains

M4000/M5000 supports as 4 domains (0-3)
M8000 Supports 16 domains(0-15)
M9000 Supports 24 domains(0-23)

Static Domain configuration example : M4000

M4000 server consists of :

1 PSB containing :
1 I/O unit (IOU 0) containing:
PCI-X slot : 1
PCI-E slots : 4
I/O devices : 2 disk, DVD, 2 GbE ports
2 CPU modules : CPUM0 and CPUM1 (containing 2 CPUs each)
4 Memory boards : MEB0, MEB1, MEB1, MEB3 (containing 8 DIMMS each)
Now we would create 2 domains:

domain 0 with XSB 00-0 and 00-2

Domain 1 with XSB 00-1 and 00-3
XSB

CPU

Memory

I/O

XSB 00-0

CPUM#0-CHIP#0

MEMB#0

Disks 0 & 1, DVD/DAT, GbE, IOU#0-PCI#0, IOU#0-PCI#1, IOU#0-PCI#2

XSB 00-1

CPUM#0-CHIP#1

MEMB#1

IOU#0-PCI#3, IOU#0-PCI#4

XSB 00-2

CPUM#1-CHIP#0

MEMB#2

None

XSB 00-3

CPUM#1-CHIP#1

MEMB#3

None

1. Setting up Domain 0

Quad-XSB configuration

XSCF> setupfru -x 4 sb 0
XSCF> showfru -a sb 0
Device Location XSB Mode Memory Mirror Mode
sb 00 Quad no
Set a domain component list (DCL). setdcl associates a XSB with a LSB. LSB can be
recognized by OS in a domain. We are assigning XSBs 00-0 and 00-2 to LSB 0.

XSCF> setdcl -d 0 -a 0=00-0

XSCF> setdcl -d 0 -a 1=00-2
Now configure XSBs 00-0 and 00-2 into domain 0.

XSCF> addboard -c assign -d 0 00-0 00-2

XSB#00-0 will be assigned to DomainID 0. Continue?[y|n] :y
XSB#00-2 will be assigned to DomainID 0. Continue?[y|n] :y
Check the assignments

XSCF> showdcl -v -d 0
DID LSB XSB Status No-Mem No-IO Float Cfg-policy
00 Powered Off FRU
00 00-0 False False False
01 00-2 False False False
...
2. Setting up Domain 1

Now similarly configure the domain 1 using XSBs 00-1 and 00-3.

XSCF> setdcl -d1 -a 0=00-1

XSCF> setdcl -d1 -a 1=00-3
XSCF> addboard -c assign -d 1 00-1 00-3
XSB#00-1 will be assigned to DomainID 1. Continue?[y|n] :y
XSB#00-3 will be assigned to DomainID 1. Continue?[y|n] :y
XSCF> showdcl -v -d 1
DID LSB XSB Status No-Mem No-IO Float Cfg-policy
01 Powered Off FRU
00 00-1 False False False
01 00-3 False False False
...
XSCF> showboards -a
