Glossary
This section mainly describes unique terms used with the SPARC M10 systems.
Note - For the terms related to Oracle VM Server for SPARC, see "Glossary" in the Oracle VM
Server for SPARC Administration Guide of the version used.
Note - This section does not cover generally well-known terms.
active maintenance
Maintenance performed with the power to the physical partition kept on and the
input power turned on (power cord connected) for the chassis in which the
maintenance target FRU is mounted.
BB-ID
The ID that identifies an enclosure. BB-ID is configured and used in the SPARC
M10-4S which allows the connected use of multiple enclosures.
building block (BB) configuration
To make a configuration by combining the devices using the building block
method. A crossbar box may be required depending on the number of SPARC
M10-4S units to be combined.
In the SPARC M10 systems, a building block consists of SPARC M10-4S.
building block (BB) method
A method of expansion which adds the component devices in proportion to the
system scale. The SPARC M10-4S, as the unit of configuration, enables
adjustments to system resources as a chassis with a built-in power supply and
mounted CPU, memory, and I/O resources.
CMU
See CPU memory unit (CMU).
3
control domain
A domain that is among the configured logical domains in a physical partition
and is used to create and manage other domains, assign virtual resources, etc.
Oracle VM Server for SPARC is installed on the control domain. Each physical
partition contains one control domain.
control domain console
A console for operating the control domain in a physical partition.
Switching is possible using the console(8) command from the XSCF shell. For the
connection, either the read- and write-enabled RW console or the read-only
enabled RO console is connected.
CPU Activation
CPU Activation means the following:
a. Mechanism for using the CPUs mounted in the SPARC M10 systems
b. Rights information that is set in the SPARC M10 systems to enable use of CPU
cores
c. Name of a product as a set of "rights and setting information" for enabling use
of CPU cores in the SPARC M10 systems
To use the CPU cores in the SPARC M10 systems, CPU Activations must be
registered in the SPARC M10 systems with the necessary number of CPU
Activations assigned to physical partitions (PPARs).
CPU Activations may appear as "Permits" in programs. CPU Activations with
the required capacity based on the system design are available for purchase.
CPU Activation may be described as "COD" or "CoD" in programs and manuals.
CPU Activation key
A key that can be obtained from the purchase of a CPU Activation.
Registration of the CPU Activation key in the system enables use of CPU cores
up to the purchased capacity.
CPU memory unit (CMU)
A unit consisting of a CPU memory unit (lower) (CMUL) and CPU memory unit
(upper) (CMUU), used in the SPARC M10-4/M10-4S.
The CPU memory unit (lower) consists of CPUs, memory, the XSCF, and a PCI
Express backplane. The CPU memory unit (upper) consists of CPUs and
memory.
crossbar backplane unit (XBBPU)

system by connecting with another SPARC M10-4S or crossbar box.
degraded
State of one FRU, FRU group, or FRU part that was released because a failure
occurred.
Normally, a component suspected to have failed is released to prevent the
failure from affecting other components in the system. Not only is the failed
component released but also a normal component may be degraded to release
the failed component. Furthermore, if a function essential to system operation is
degraded, the system may shut down as a result.
domain
A virtual machine which is built on the SPARC M10 systems. Hardware
resources on the SPARC M10 systems can be assigned, to build multiple virtual
machines of necessary scale.
A domain can be built using the two-tier partitions of physical partition (PPAR)
and logical domain. Oracle Solaris operates in each built logical domain, which
appears as a single independent computing system from user's point of view.
DR
See dynamic reconfiguration (DR).
dynamic reconfiguration (DR)
Reconfiguration of the hardware resources composing the system without
stopping the system while in operation.
Dynamic reconfiguration of a physical partition (PPAR) can dynamically
reconfigure the system board (PSB) as a hardware resource. Dynamic
reconfiguration of a logical domain can dynamically reconfigure CPUs, memory,
and I/O devices as hardware resources.

where the maintenance target FRU belongs and with the input power turned on
(power cord connected) for the chassis in which this FRU is mounted.

One of the components composing a PCI expansion unit. Eleven slots
compatible with 8 lane PCI-Express Gen 3.0 and one slot for a link board to
connect with the SPARC M10 systems are on the I/O board.
I/O domain
One of the logical domains created by Oracle VM Server for SPARC. The I/O

domain, service domain, I/O domain, and root domain.
logical system board (LSB)
The logical unit name which will be assigned to the system board (SB). Each
physical partition (PPAR) has a set of LSB which is assigned to it.
LSB
See logical system board (LSB).
