In Part One of this series we went through the initial configuration of our Logical Domain hypervisor, and took some time to explain the process of mapping out the PCI Root Complexes, so that we would be able to effectively split them between the primary and an alternate domain. In…
SPARC Logical Domains: Alternate Service Domains Part 2
In Part One of this series we went through the initial configuration of our Logical Domain hypervisor, and took some time to explain the process of mapping out the PCI Root Complexes, so that we would be able to effectively split them between the primary and an alternate domain. In…
SPARC Logical Domains: Alternate Service Domains Part 1
In this series we will be going over configuring alternate I/O and Service domains, with the goal of increasing the serviceability the SPARC T-Series servers without impacting other domains on the hypervisor. Essentially enabling rolling maintenance without having to rely on live migration or downtime. It is important to note,…
SPARC Logical Domains: Live Migration
One of the ways that we are able to accomplish regularly scheduled maintenance is by utilizing Live Migration, with this we can migrate workloads from one physical machine to another without having service interruption. The way that it is done with Logical Domains is much more flexible than with most…
Solaris 11: Configure IP Over Infiniband Devices
In this article we will be going over the configuration of an infiniband interface with the IPoIB protocol on Solaris 11, specifically Solaris 11.2 (previous versions of Solaris 11 should work the same, however there have been changes in the ipadm and dladm commands). Identify Infiniband Datalinks First we need…
