The Solaris OS is installed on a per-domain basis. In the configuration shown in
, there would be three Solaris images, one for each domain.
FIGURE 4-6
In high-end servers, the internal disks are available only for the first (top) I/O device
and the third (third from top) I/O device. The second and fourth I/O devices do not
have the capability to have internal hard disks. In midrange servers, the internal
disk is available only for the first (top) I/O device.
SPARC64 VI and SPARC64 VII Processors and
CPU Operational Modes
Midrange and high-end servers support system boards that contain SPARC64™ VI
processors, SPARC64 VII processors, or a mix of the two processor types. Entry-level
servers support only SPARC64 VII processors.
