[SunHELP] Solaris 2.6 Memory Limitation

[Fletcher, Joe]

In something like an E10K you can split the >4Gb into domains and allocate a
chunk for each domain.

If it can address only 4GB what is the purpose of having more than 4GB?
I mean how can the remaining be put into use?
Thanks in Advance.

	It's true that 32bit systems can only address a maximum of 4GB of
memory. That's not to say that a system running a 32bit o/s
	can physically contain only 4GB RAM. Solaris 2.6 is 32bit therefore
it can only address up to 4GB.

		Hello Every one, 
		Just recently some one on our project mentioned that the
E10K  we have which has 16Gig of memory running Solaris 2.6, has the
limitation of only 4 gig on the memory. Is that true with Solaris 2.6...?

		TIA
