Welcome to the demonstration of the “Silicon Secured Memory” feature of the the SPARC M7 processor. Commonly referred to as SSM.

This animation shows how to upgrade a SPARC T5-8 server from a four-processor to an eight-processor configuration. The animation also shows how the processor upgrade affects PCIe root complex configurations and PCIe load balancing. The upgrade process includes:

• Preparing the new processor modules
• Removing the processor filler modules
• Installing the new processor modules
• Verifying the upgrade

This animation shows you how to upgrade a SPARC T5-4 server from a one-processor to a two-processor configuration.The animation also shows how the processor upgrade affects PCIe root complex configurations and PCIe load balancing. The upgrade process includes:

• Preparing the new processor module
• Removing the processor filler module
• Installing the new processor module
• Verifying the upgrade

This interactive application allows you to explore the features of Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 that help the Systems Administrator work more efficiently. It provides a comparison of the two available models, full-rack and half-rack, outlines the software stack that contributes to its exceptional service and security levels. It explains how Solaris Zones allow you to isolate applications, provides and overview of the standard management tools, and discusses how the SuperCluster Tuner (ssctuner) provides dynamic self-tuning that enables Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 to enhance the availability and performance.
