Maximum Number Of Each Type Of Mounted Pci Card And Available; Pci Slots - Fujitsu SPARC M12 Installation Manual

If an Oracle Solaris 10 environment is used in the following configurations, apply the
rules for Oracle Solaris 11.
A guest domain of an Oracle Solaris 10 environment is configured using the
■
virtual I/O services of a control domain or the root domain of Oracle Solaris 11.
An Oracle Solaris 10 zone is configured on an Oracle Solaris 11 domain.
■
If there are plans to add a root domain or I/O domain of Oracle Solaris 10 after the
start of system operation, apply the rules for Oracle Solaris 10.
Note - For details on the design of control domain, root domain, and I/O domain configurations,
see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide.
1.2 Maximum Number of Each Type of
Mounted PCI Card and Available PCI
Slots
For the maximum number of each type of mounted PCI card and the available PCI
slots, see
"Maximum Number Mounted" means the maximum number of PCI cards that can
■
be mounted in the SPARC M12-1 and the PCI expansion unit. The numbers in ( )
indicate the slot numbers where cards can be mounted, among the PCI slots of the
SPARC M12-1. If there are no ( ), all of the slots are available for mounting. If the
PCI expansion unit is available for mounting, all of the PCI slots in the PCI
expansion unit are available for mounting.
The SPARC M12 has an I/O bandwidth of 8 GB/s per root complex. The
■
bandwidth between the PCI expansion unit and the SPARC M12 is also 8 GB/s.
Therefore, if multiple PCI cards that share root complexes operate at the same
time, each PCI card may not demonstrate the maximum performance. If a
high-speed communication card requires a certain level of performance, secure the
bandwidth with either one of the following actions:
- Instead of mounting in the PCI expansion unit, mount in the PCI slots of the
SPARC M12-1.
- Do not mount other PCI cards in the PCI slots of the same root complex.
