Here are additional resources for Sun Chip Multithreading (CMT) servers with CoolThreads technology:
CoolThreads Servers Training Course List, which provides info about Sun
training courses for installing, tuning, troubleshooting, and administering CoolThreads servers
Upgrade to Sun CoolThreads Servers and Solaris 10 web page, which provides info about the
advantages of upgrading to CoolThreads servers and the Solaris 10 OS, legacy application support and binary compatibility, trade-in allowances, and more
Sun BluePrints papers (registration required) and other CMT info at the Sun BluePrints CMT wiki
White papers:
Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120, T5220, T5140, and T5240 Server Architecture (54-pp. pdf), which
explains how employing the UltraSPARC T2 and UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors, the industry's first massively threaded Systems on a Chip (SoC), enables the Sun SPARC
Enterprise T5120/T5220 and T5140/T5240 servers to offer better performance and energy efficiency to drive Web 2.0 infrastructure and address other
data center challenges
LDoms technology allows you to allocate a system's resources, such as CPU, memory, and I/O, into logical groupings or domains. This enables you to create
multiple discrete systems, each with their own operating system, resources, and identity within a single physical computer system.
Solaris Containers enable you to upgrade to the Solaris 10 OS from the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 OS even if you are running applications that cannot
be ported to the Solaris 10 OS. The software allows you to run most Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 applications, unchanged, on the latest SPARC systems and
the Solaris 10 OS. An existing Solaris 8 system can be directly upgraded into a Solaris 8 container. An existing Solaris 9 system can be directly
upgraded into a Solaris 9 container. The original host is not modified during this process.
Here are some LDoms and Solaris Containers resources:
LDoms web site, which provides links to videos, webcasts, and more
LDoms Community Cookbook, which is a living wiki document that provides
basic and advanced procedures for Logical Domains
Logical Domains Quick Start Guide, a Sun BluePrints paper (registration required) that
describes the process of setting up a system to run Logical Domains--Sun's built-in, no-cost hardware virtualization technology for servers and blade systems
powered by UltraSPARC T1, T2, and T2 Plus processors--and creating guest domains on the system
OpenSolaris LDoms Community*, which provides links to documentation,
technical papers, getting started info, downloads, and more
Sun Optimized Web Stack for the Solaris OS, which provides a LAMP and SAMP stack for
building and deploying Web services and applications and, when deployed on Sun's CoolThreads servers, takes full advantage of
the world-record performance of these servers and the Solaris OS to deliver virtually unmatched performance, scalability, power and space efficiency, and security
