Firmware and Software Required for SPARC M10 Systems In SPARC M10 Systems, different firmware and software, such as XSCF firmware and Oracle VM Server for SPARC, are used to configure physical partitions and logical domains. For details on firmware and software, see "Chapter 1 Understanding an Overview of the SPARC M10 Systems" in the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems System Operation and Administration Guide.

The main firmware and software used in SPARC M10 Systems are as follows. XSCF Firmware The XSCF firmware is a system control facility mounted on SPARC M10 Systems as standard. The XSCF firmware runs on a dedicated processor (service processor) that is independent of the processors in the server. The XSCF firmware is placed in each chassis of SPARC M10-1, SPARC M10-4, and SPARC M10-4S. The XSCF firmware interacts with a logical domain and controls the entire system. If the system is comprised o

(1) SPARC M10-4S Multiple SPARC M10-4S units are connected in a building block configuration. This model can start with a single-BB configuration and then be expanded to a multi- BB configuration with the addition of individual chassis. The model contains a crossbar unit for logically switching the connections of CPU/ memory board units and I/O units. System configuration example - building block configuration Reference (connected through crossbar boxes) Up to eight PCI expansion units can

(3) SPARC M10-4S System configuration example – building block configuration (directly connected chassis) In this configuration, the SPARC M10-4S units are directly connected with electric cables without using crossbar boxes. Four-BB configuration (1 BB to 4 BBs) Up to four SPARC M10-4S units can be connected. BB#02 BB#00 : Crossbar unit BB#01 BB#03 : Power cable Building block numbers are identifiers (BB-IDs) that are numbered sequentially starting with 00. For the connection procedure, see
