Hello everyone,
We're planning on configuring a huge E25K domain running Solaris 8
(02/04). The domain will have 8 System Boards, each with 4 1350Mhz US-IV
processors. This will configure the domain at 8*4*2 = 64 cores.
Since Solaris 8 does not have MPO (s8 is a requirement for this
app), we know that performance will be inferior to that of s9/s10 on the
same hardware.
What we'd like to know is this: Will it work/function at all? Will
it provide adequate performance (we're looking for over 600,000 tpm-C). We
heard rumours about 'Solaris 8 cannot handle more than 40 cores on E25k'
but not a single document/fact was shown.
I'd like to hear from anyone's experiences, good or bad
(performance wise), running Solaris 8 on a large E25K domain (48+ cores).
Thanks for reading,
