2.6.3 Conditions for a Mixed Configuration With the SPARC64 X+ Processor and the SPARC64 X Processor Within a PPAR


2.6.3 Conditions for a Mixed Configuration With the SPARC64 X+ Processor and the SPARC64 X Processor Within a PPAR
With SPARC M10-4S, you can use the SPARC64 X+ processor mounted on one SPARC M10-4S and the SPARC64 X processor mounted on another SPARC M10-4S together in one physical partition. For a mixed configuration, you need to apply the XCP firmware that supports the SPARC64 X+ processor to all the SPARC M10-4S units comprising the building block. Depending on your system configuration, the XCP firmware that supports the SPARC64 X+ processor is automatically applied.
If you have a physical partition consisting of a SPARC M10-4S unit with a SPARC64 X processor and want to add a SPARC M10-4S with a SPARC64 X+ processor to this physical partition, you must update the XCP firmware on the SPARC M10-4S with the SPARC64 X processor beforehand.
If you have a physical partition consisting of a SPARC M10-4S unit with a SPARC64 X+ processor and want to add a SPARC M10-4S with a SPARC64 X processor to this physical partition, the XCP firmware on the SPARC M10-4S with the SPARC64 X processor will be automatically updated to the version of the XCP firmware applied to the master XSCF.
Note - For details on the versions of the XCP firmware that support systems incorporating the SPARC64 X+ processor, see the Fujitsu SPARC M10 Systems Product Notes for the latest XCP version.
