M5000 splitting existing domain

Hi

We have an M5000 with one domain running Sun Cluster on it. We would like to split the domain into two domains. One with the existing Sun Cluster and one with a fresh install. We have 2 CPU Boards (8 CPU) / 4 Mem Boards (64 gb memory) and 2 IOU as well as 4 disks

Is it possible to have such a configuration?


Domain 0
5 CPU
40 GB Memory
1 IO Board
2 Disks

Domain 1
3 CPU
24 GB Memory
1 IO Board
2 Disks


What are the limitations in configuring domains? What is the relationship between memory and cpu?

Is there anything I need to be aware of if I want to split the existing domain?
How would I split the domain without risking to lose the Sun Cluster OS.

Here the showhardconf

Code:

you'll need to read here:
Domain Configuration
the magic word you are looking for is "quad-xsb".

Hi

Thanks for the link. Looking at TABLE 4-3 I am a little bit confused. Maybe you can explain me this:

In our M5000 we have the following:

Code:
XSB00
   00-0 CPU0-0 Memb 0
   00-1 CPU0-1 Memb 1
   00-2 CPU1-0
   00-3 CPU1-1

XSB01
   01-0 CPU0-0 Memb 4
   01-1 CPU0-1 Memb 5
   01-2 CPU1-0
   01-3 CPU1-1


Could I leave XSB00 in Uni-Mode and put XSB01 in Quad-Mode.

Then Assign XSB00 completely to Domain0 plus the CPU of XSB01-3?

Which would mean Domain 0 would have 5 CPU + 2 Memb? What about Memb 4 or 5?

Old 02-13-2013
can't say... i've never tried that. only quad on all xsb and then you can do what you are trying...

Hi

Is this config posisble as well by just swapping one memoryboard to slot 2?

Code:
Domain 0

XSB00
00-0 CPU0-0 Memb 0
00-1 CPU0-1 Memb 1
00-2 CPU1-0 Memb 2
00-3 CPU1-1
01-3 CPU1-1

Domain 1

XSB01
01-0 CPU0-0 Memb 4
01-1 CPU0-1
01-2 CPU1-0

# 6  
Old 02-13-2013
i had to do it with a full assembled M5000 and i did quad XSB on all boards back then to have a larger and a smaller domain. so i think you have to try your configuration on your own Smilie

Ok I'll give it a try. Thanks anyway.

One more question. We have 4 HDDs. Will HD 3+4 automatically be assigned to Domain 1 ?
