A.4.1 Configuration Example


A.4.1 Configuration Example
This section expands a SPARC M10-4S with a 1BB configuration to a 2BB configuration through physical partition dynamic reconfiguration and adds guest domain guest1 and root domain root-dom1 to which the root complexes of an expanded SPARC M10-4S (BB#1) have been assigned. This section also gives a configuration example in which the virtual I/O of each guest domain is made redundant and the system volume of the control domain is mirrored with the internal hard disk.

*1 A memory region of approx. 2 GB or 1.25 GB on each SPARC M10-4S is assigned for the hypervisor. So, the memory resource that can be assigned to the logical domain is smaller than the physically mounted memory capacity.
