Target Audience: Oracle SuperCluster Customers
On a high-level, osc-setcoremem is a SuperCluster tool that assists in making changes to the CPU and memory configurations of one or more dedicated domains running on a SuperCluster compute node. osc-setcoremem helps in removing (park) resources from dedicated domains for licensing purposes. Also using osc-setcoremem, some of the CPU and memory resources can be removed from one dedicated domain and added to remaining dedicated domains. Root domains are ignored by default.
Any user with no prior knowledge of Oracle VM Server for SPARC (also known as Logical Domains) administration, and how the operating system organizes CPU and memory resources into different locality groups (lgroups) can easily reconfigure the dedicated domains to achieve desired (or in some cases close to the desired) CPU, memory configurations. Only those users with root privileges can run the tool.
osc-setcoremem is currently supported on all SuperCluster platforms -- T4-4, T5-8, M6-32 and M7. User can change the CPU, memory configurations at Socket or Core granularity. For the complete list of supported functionality along with known limitations, please review the Configuring CPU and Memory Resources section in Oracle SuperCluster M7 Series Administration Guide.
Here is a sample interactive osc-setcoremem session that changes the CPU, memory configuration of couple of dedicated domains on a SuperCluster M6-32 compute node.

CPU Granularity Preference:
1. Socket
2. Core
In case of Socket granularity, proportional memory capacity is
automatically selected for you.
Choose Socket or Core [S or C] C
Step 1 of 2: Core Count
primary : specify number of cores [min: 2, max: 68. default: 24] : 30
you chose [30] cores for primary domain
ssccn1-dom1 : specify number of cores [min: 2, max: 40. default: 24] :
you chose [24] cores for ssccn1-dom1 domain
ssccn1-dom2 : specify number of cores [min: 2, max: 18. default: 18] : 12
you chose [12] cores for ssccn1-dom2 domain
Configuration In Progress After Core Count Selection:

+----------------------------------+-------+--------+-----------+-------+--------+
Step 2 of 2: Memory Capacity
(must be 16 GB aligned)
primary : specify memory capacity in GB [min: 128, max: 4032. default: 2048] : 2816
you chose [2816 GB] memory for primary domain
ssccn1-dom1 : specify memory capacity in GB [min: 96, max: 2048. default: 2048] :
you chose [2048 GB] memory for ssccn1-dom1 domain
ssccn1-dom2 : specify memory capacity in GB [min: 64, max: 1280. default: 1280] : 512
you chose [512 GB] memory for ssccn1-dom2 domain
Configuration In Progress After Memory Capacity Selection:
+----------------------------------+-------+--------+-----------+--- MINIMUM ----+

[ INFO ] Equivalent non-interactive input string for the record:
/opt/oracle.supercluster/bin/osc-setcoremem -type core -res 30/2816:24/2048:12/512
Following domains will be restarted:
ssccn1-dom2
This configuration change requires rebooting the Control Domain.
Do you want to proceed? Y/N : y
IMPORTANT NOTE:
| After the reboot, osc-setcoremem attempts to complete CPU, Memory reconfiguration.
| Please check syslog and the state of all domains before using the system.
| eg., dmesg | grep osc-setcoremem ; ldm list | grep -v active ; date
Please wait while osc-setcoremem is setting up the new CPU, memory configuration.
It may take a while. Be patient and do not interrupt.
Executing ldm commands ..
