Understanding the Software Configurations
Four Small Domains: One socket for each Small Domain
■
Management Network
The number and type of 1-GbE host management ports that are assigned to each Small Domain
varies, depending on the CPU that the Small Domain is associated with:
CPU0: NET0-1
■
CPU1: NET1, NET3 (through virtual network devices)
■
CPU6: NET0, NET2 (through virtual network devices)
■
CPU7: NET2-3
■
10-GbE Client Access Network
One PCI root complex pair, and therefore one 10-GbE NIC, is associated with the Small
Domain on the SPARC T5-8 server in the Half Rack. Both ports are used on each dual-ported
10-GbE NIC, and both ports on each 10-GbE NIC would be part of one IPMP group. Both ports
from each dual-ported 10-GbE NIC is connected to the 10-GbE network for the Small Domains.
The following 10-GbE NICs and ports are used for connection to the client access network for
the Small Domains, depending on the CPU that the Small Domain is associated with:
CPU0:
■
■
■
CPU1:
■
■
■
CPU6:
■
■
■
CPU7:

A single data address is used to access these two physical ports. That data address allows traffic
to continue flowing to the ports in the IPMP group, even if the connection to one of the two
ports on the 10-GbE NIC fails.
