Direct I/O Function for the PCI Expansion Unit


Direct I/O Function for the PCI Expansion Unit
On the SPARC M12-1/M12-2/M12-2S, you can use the direct I/O function of Oracle VM Server for SPARC for the PCI expansion unit. This makes it possible to assign an I/O domain for each slot of the PCI expansion unit. For details on the direct I/O function of Oracle VM Server for SPARC, see the Oracle VM Server for SPARC Administration Guide for the version used.
If the PCI expansion unit is connected to the SPARC M12-2/M12-2S, make the setting in "Setting/Displaying the Direct I/O Function" before using the direct I/O function. For the SPARC M12-1, the settings in "Setting/Displaying the Direct I/O Function" do need not be made. The direct I/O function can be used simply by connecting the PCI expansion unit to the SPARC M12-1.
