Guys,
I have oracle sparc T5-2 (Two Oracle SPARC T5, 256G RAM) idling (finally
was able to install linux into it 2 weeks ago)
http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/servers/sparc/oracle-sparc/t5-2/sparc-t5-2-ds-1922871.pdf
currenly linux is installed as ldom (that's why you can't see full cpu and
ram list):
[mator@linuxsparc ~]$ lscpu
Architecture: sparc64
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
Byte Order: Big Endian
CPU(s): 128
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-127
Thread(s) per core: 8
Core(s) per socket: 16
Socket(s): 1
NUMA node(s): 1
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-127
[mator@linuxsparc ~]$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 129767 2267 127500 0 242 1278
-/+ buffers/cache: 746 129020
Swap: 1023 0 1023
[mator@linuxsparc ~]$ top -bin 1
top - 14:07:44 up 9 days, 19:54, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05
so far, it's oracle (solaris 11) control/primary domain with 8Gb RAM and 8
logical cpus) , created child ldom with linux:
root@deimos:/export/zfs/ISOs# ldm list
NAME STATE FLAGS CONS VCPU MEMORY UTIL NORM
UPTIME
primary active -n-cv- UART 8 8G 1.2% 1.2% 11d
13h 17m
linux active -n---- 5000 128 128G 0.0% 0.0% 9d
19h 59m
but i can increase linux domain up to (256-8=248 virtual cpus) and 248G ram.
I had to install oracle sparc linux
https://oss.oracle.com/projects/linux-sparc/ in linux ldom, since debian 7
sparc iso have old kernel 3.x and can't be installed as ldom (if only i
could remake debian 7 sparc iso with newer kernel, it would fit ldom
natively). From oracle sparc linux, i have installed debian 7 sparc with
debootstrap into chroot (/mnt/deb):
[mator@linuxsparc ~]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root
7.8G 1.5G 5.9G 21% /
tmpfs 64G 0 64G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/vdiska1 976M 37M 889M 4% /boot
/dev/vdiskc3 8.8G 659M 7.7G 8% /mnt/deb
[mator@linuxsparc ~]$ sudo -s
[root@linuxsparc mator]# chroot /mnt/deb
root@linuxsparc:/# cat /etc/debian_version
7.9
root@linuxsparc:/#
I could easily increase /dev/vdiskc to something more than 8.8Gb , but not
more than 400Gb (only 400G free in parent primary/control domain for this).
This machine is installed in our company laboratory with internal network
and NAT external connectivity. I could create openvpn (or whatever tunnel
software in linux) for your access.
Do you interested to use it as build machine for sparc linux?
Thanks.
