Understanding an Overview of the System
This section describes the lineup, firmware and software, external view, system configuration, and system specifications of SPARC M10 Systems.
Lineup
Server main unit
The SPARC M10 Systems lineup consists of the following models that meet various requirements.
SPARC M10-1
This compact model combines both the space-saving and high performance of a single rack unit.
Reference
External Views of the Chassis and System
Configuration Examples - SPARC M10-1
SPARC M10-4
Using a single chassis, this model is a mid-range server with high performance and high reliability that is optimal for data center integration and virtualization.

Configuration Examples - SPARC M10-4
SPARC M10-4S
This model employs a building block (BB) system of interconnected chassis. You can increase or decrease the number of connected chassis according to your processing capacity requirements.
The model has the scalability/flexibility for a wide range of servers, from mid-range to highend servers.
A system of the connected chassis is called a building block configuration.

Firmware and Software Required for
SPARC M10 Systems
In SPARC M10 Systems, different firmware and software, such as XSCF firmware and Oracle
VM Server for SPARC, are used to configure physical partitions and logical domains.
For details on firmware and software, see "Chapter 1 Understanding an Overview of the
SPARC M10 Systems" in the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems System Operation and
Administration Guide.

The main firmware and software used in SPARC M10 Systems are as follows.
XSCF Firmware
The XSCF firmware is a system control facility mounted on SPARC M10 Systems as standard.
The XSCF firmware runs on a dedicated processor (service processor) that is independent of the processors in the server.
The XSCF firmware is placed in each chassis of SPARC M10-1, SPARC M10-4, and SPARC
M10-4S. The XSCF firmware interacts with a logical domain and controls the entire system.
If the system is comprised of multiple SPARC M10-4S chassis connected using the building block (BB) configuration, a service processor is placed in each SPARC M10-4S chassis and each crossbar box (XBBOX) that connects these chassis. The XSCF firmware runs on the service processor.
Hypervisor
Different firmware and software run in SPARC M10 Systems. They include the XSCF firmware that monitors and controls the entire system and Oracle Solaris that is installed in logical domains. The Hypervisor firmware, which is placed between the XSCF firmware and Oracle
Solaris, provides an interface that transfers the setting information from the XSCF to the logical domains and reports the status of the logical domains to the XSCF.
Oracle VM Server for SPARC
Oracle VM Server for SPARC is software for configuring a logical domain environment. It is used by installing it in the Oracle Solaris environment.
