DCU
Domain configurable unit. The smallest building block for PDomains. SPARC M8-8 and
SPARC M7-8 servers with two PDomains have two DCUs, and SPARC M8-8 and SPARC
M7-8 servers with one PDomain have one DCU. Those DCUs are static. Their assignment
cannot be changed. The SPARC M7-16 server has four DCUs that you can assign to the host in
any one of the four possible PDomains. See also PDomain.
