1.1.1 1BB Configuration


1.1.1 1BB Configuration
The 1BB configuration uses only one SPARC M12-2S.
This section describes the workflow from installation of the SPARC M12-2S and the PCI expansion unit, which is an option mounted for the SPARC M12-2S, to the initial system settings. The initial system settings are implemented before system startup, and they include the XSCF setup, CPU Activation setting, and physical partition configuration. Skip the steps for the PCI expansion unit if it is not to be installed.

By clicking a reference enclosed in " " to display a section, you can see the details of the respective step. Italic font is used to indicate the name of a reference manual other than this manual.

*1 Average work time
*2 The time required for mounting optional components and installing the PCI expansion unit is not included.
*3 If the optional components (CPU module, memory, internal storage (HDD/SSD), and PCIe card) are ordered together with the SPARC M12-2S, they are mounted in the SPARC M12-2S before shipment.
*4 In Japan, the link card is mounted in the SPARC M12-2S before shipment. Outside Japan, the supplied link card is shipped with the PCI expansion unit.
*5 One CD-ROM disk containing a CPU Activation certificate is provided with the system. The key for CPU Activation ordered together with the SPARC M12-2S is registered to the system before shipment.
*6 If you have started Oracle Solaris and changed the configuration of a logical domain, save the logical domain configuration information.
Note - Oracle Solaris has been preinstalled in the SPARC M12-2S. According to the purpose, either use the preinstalled Oracle Solaris as is or reinstall it.
When reinstalling Oracle Solaris, check the latest information on the supported Oracle Solaris versions and SRU in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 Product Notes.
