Direct I/O Function for the PCI Expansion Unit


Direct I/O Function for the PCI Expansion Unit
For XCP 2044 or later on the SPARC M10-1/M10-4 and for XCP 2050 or later on the SPARC M10-4S, the direct I/O function of Oracle VM Server for SPARC is supported 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 SPARC M10-4/M10-4S, make the setting below before using the direct I/O function. For SPARC M10-1, the setpciboxdio setting need not be made. The direct I/O function can be used simply by connecting the PCI expansion unit to SPARC M10-1.
