Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR)

The XSCF assists in dynamically changing a system board configuration during system operation. The XSCF can be used for dynamic reconfiguration of domains.

For details on DR, see the SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 Servers Service Manual.

Capacity on Demand (COD)

To use CoD, RTUs must be purchased. Then, resources such as CPUs must be configured according to the number of purchased RTUs so that they can be used as needed. The licenses that are defined are allocated to individual resources when such resources are required for use because of the start of a domain or another trigger.

For details, see the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers Administration Guide.
