SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Features This chapter describes the features of the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server.
SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Features The SPARC Enterprise T2000 server is a scalable and reliable high-performance, entry-level server, offering the following characteristics: ■ Space efficient, rack-optimized 2U form factor for horizontally scaled environments. ■ Chip multithreading technology (CMT) in the UltraSPARC® T1 processor with CoolThreads™ technology offering four or eight cores, with four threads per core for improved throughput and reduced power consumption.
Features at a Glance TABLE 1 SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Features at a Glance Feature Description Processor 1 UltraSPARC T1 multicore processor (4 or 8 cores) Architecture SPARC V9 architecture, ECC protected Platform group: sun4v Platform name: SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T2000 Memory 16 slots that can be populated with one of the following types of DDR-2, 400 MHz DIMMS with ECC: • 512 MB (8 GB maximum) • 1 GB (16 GB maximum) • 2 GB (32 GB maximum) • 4GB (64 GB maximum) Ethernet ports 4 ports, 10/10
TABLE 1 SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Features at a Glance Feature Description Firmware System Firmware comprising: • OBP for system settings and power-on self test (POST) support • ALOM CMT for remote management administration Cryptography Hardware-assisted cyptographic acceleration Operating system Solaris™ 10 Operating System preinstalled on disk 0 Refer to the SPARC Enterprise T2000 Server Product Notes for information on the minimum version of supported OS and required patches.
Chip-Multitheaded Multicore Processor and Memory Technology The UltraSPARC® T1 multicore processor is the basis of the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server. The UltraSPARC T1 processor is based on chip multithreading (CMT) technology that is optimized for highly threaded transactional processing. The UltraSPARC T1 processor improves throughput while using less power and dissipating less heat than conventional processor designs. Depending on the model purchased, the processor has four or eight UltraSPARC cores.
Performance Enhancements The SPARC Enterprise T2000 server running the Solaris 10 OS provides several new performance enhancing technologies with its sun4v architecture and multicore multithreaded UltraSPARC T1 multicore processor.
Preloaded Java Enterprise System Software The SPARC Enterprise T2000 server is preinstalled with Java™ Enterprise System software and includes a free 90-day evaluation license for the following Java Enterprise System software applications: ■ Access Manager – A security foundation that helps manage secure access to an enterprises’ web applications by offering single sign-on (SSO) as well as enabling federation across trusted networks.
Hardware-Assisted Cryptography The UltraSPARC T1 multicore processor provides hardware-assisted acceleration of RSA and DSA cryptographic operations. The Solaris 10 Operating System provides the multithreaded device driver (ncp device driver) that supports the hardwareassisted cryptography. Remote Manageability With ALOM CMT The Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM CMT) feature is a system controller that enables you to remotely manage and administer the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server.
System Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) are aspects of a system’s design that affect its ability to operate continuously and to minimize the time necessary to service the system. Reliability refers to a system’s ability to operate continuously without failures and to maintain data integrity. System availability refers to the ability of a system to recover to an operational state after a failure, with minimal impact.
Fan Redundancy The SPARC Enterprise T2000 server features three hot-swappable system fans. The fans enable the system to continue operating with adequate cooling in the event that one of the fans fails.
By attaching one or more external storage devices to the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server, you can use a redundant array of independent drives (RAID) software application such as Solstice DiskSuite™ or VERITAS Volume Manager to configure system drive storage in a variety of different RAID levels. Error Correction and Parity Checking The UltraSPARC T1 multicore processor provides parity protection on its internal cache memories, including tag parity and data parity on the D-cache and I-cache.
Chassis Identification The following figures show the physical characteristics of the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server.
