Description

Network Express Module
(NEM) compatibility

Each node host requires a NEM for network I/O (for more on NEM
requirements see

“Installation Prerequisites” on page 22

). NEM SAS ports

(internal or external) are not supported.

The following NEMs are supported for the Sun Blade X6275 M2 with 1GbE
(X6275M2–BB):

■

Sun Blade 6000 10p GbE Pass-Thru NEM (X4250A) — recommended.

■

Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE M2 NEM (X4338A).

■

Sun Blade 6000 Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE NEM (X4238).

■

Sun Blade 6000 Multi-Fabric NEM (X4212A).

The following NEM is supported for the Sun Blade X6275 M2 with 10GbE
(X6275M2–CB):

■

Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched 24p 10GbE NEM (X2073A) — no FEMs

are required for the Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module.

Note –

For the 10GbE model, the Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched 24p 10GbE

NEM does not provide a 1GbE interface and therefore the 1GbE interface,

although present on each server node, is disabled by firmware.

Operating systems

Operating systems such as Oracle Solaris, Linux, Windows and Oracle VM are
supported. For a complete list of supported OS versions for your server, refer to
the

“Supported Operating Systems” in

Sun Blade X6275 M2 Server Module

Product Notes

Service Processor (SP)

Each node includes an AST2100 service processor (SP). The SP provides IPMI
2.0 compliant remote management capabilities. Each node SP features:

■

Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM version 3.0).

■

Local ILOM command-line access using a serial connection.

■

10/100 management Ethernet port to midplane (shared by both node SPs).

■

Remote keyboard, video, mouse, and storage (KVMS) over IP.

Storage

■

Two internal slots for optional 24 GB SATA Sun Flash Modules (one per

node).

■

Two internal ports for an optional USB 2.0 flash drive (one per node).

Note –

Server module nodes do not support the installation of a RAID

Expansion Module (REM) and therefore do not support internal chassis SAS

connections to blade storage. However, each node has an assigned PCIe EM

slot that could be used for an HBA connecting to external storage.

Video

A maximum resolution of 1280x1024 is supported with 8 MB of video
memory.
