    1. Determine how many domains you can have in your system and how many partitions you need. Read “Domains” on page 2 and “Partitions” on page 3. If you have a Sun Fire 6800 system and you are planning to set up three or four domains, you will need to set up dual partition mode (two partitions).
  • Page 76 3. If you have a Sun Fire 6800 system, complete this step. The Sun Fire 6800 system has two power grids, grid 0 and grid 1. It is strongly suggested that you set up boards in a domain to be in the same power grid in order to isolate the domain from a power failure.

  • Page 77: To Create A Second Domain

    To Create A Second Domain Note – It is strongly suggested that you use domain C with two partitions (dual partition mode) for your second domain. It provides better fault isolation (complete isolation of Repeater boards). With one partition, use domain B for the second domain.

    Conditions That Affect Your SC Failover Configuration If you power cycle your system (power off your system and then on), note the following: After a power cycle, the first system controller that boots scapp becomes the main SC. Certain factors, namely disabling or running SC POST with different diag levels, influence which SC is booted first.

    A failover from one SC to the other occurs, unless there are fault conditions (for example, the spare SC is not available or the connection link between the SCs is down) that prevent the failover from taking place.
