Hi All,
we have a sun12K with three domains A, B, C. We have 1 active board in
each domain and one RTU board in each domain. We are in systems
testing phase.

We'd like to vary the boards from B and C across to A to get one OS
image of 12 CPUs and 36GB to test on.

I am interested to know if having domains with no board allocated is
supported on the 12K.

That is, if we vary the boards from B, C across to A, what state do we
put the OS into before we vary across? And is the state that we will
put the machine into supported? We are concerned as to whether a
domain without a board in it is supported.

Thanks and Best Regards

You can move all of the CPU/mem boards out of any domain so long as
you shutdown Solaris in that domain first. Other than not having
access to the domain (because Solaris will not be running) there are
no adverse affects on the system.
