Confirming That A System Board (Psb) Is Assigned To A Physical; Partition (Ppar); Setting A Cpu Operational Mode For The Physical Partition - Fujitsu ORACLE M10-1 Installation Manual

6.8 Confirming That a System Board
(PSB) is Assigned to a Physical

Partition (PPAR)

For the SPARC M10-1, a system board (PSB) is assigned to a logical system board
(LSB) of a physical partition (PPAR) in advance.

6.9 Setting a CPU Operational Mode for
the Physical Partition
This section describes how to set a CPU operational mode for the physical partition.
You can use the setpparmode command of the XSCF to set a CPU operational mode
for each physical partition.
There are two CPU operational modes (cpumode) that are specifiable for the
setpparmode command: auto mode and compatible mode.
The CPU operational mode is set to "auto" mode by default.
auto mode:
■
Enables the database speed-up instructions, which are expanded functions of the
SPARC64 X+ processor.
However, if the SPARC64 X+ processors and SPARC64 X processors are mixed,
the SPARC64 X+ processors are operated compatibly with the SPARC64 X
processor. To perform maintenance by using dynamic reconfiguration in a mixed
configuration, specify compatible mode.
compatible mode:
■
Operates the SPARC64 X+ processor compatibly with the SPARC64 X processor.
To configure a physical partition in which SPARC64 X+ processors and SPARC64
X processors are mixed, specify this mode.
Note - For XCP firmware versions and Oracle Solaris versions that support this function, see
