Wich is the maxumum ammount of memory supported by Solaris in the most recent version? And somebody knows if there is a document on SUN that support this?
In advance thanks.
well, right now there is no limitation because you cannot get as much dimms as you want in the mashine. so the limitation is based on the biggest maschine from sun, that would be right now a SunFire 25K and there you can use 144 Cores with 576GByte RAM.
(i know some testing engineers from sun, and they told me that they tested solaris with 256 SystemBoards (that would be 1024 CPU) and it worked fine)

Ach so!, danke f�r ihre Antwort, st�tzt z.B. AIX in der Architektur 16TB des Ged�chtnisses, die Beschr�nkung auf den SUN Solaris ist �ber ein Terabyte?
GEIER, please read our rules and note:

please follow the rules and write your question in english again (anyway , this sentence makes no sense, this is not german, just a mix of german words 
i don't understand this even if the forum rules would allow to write in german

I believe the theoretical limit for a 64-bit OS is 32TB.
Ok I was just giving the thanks for the answer, and making the comparission, about, that in documentation on IBM the AIX OS, supports 64TB of memory.
So thinking that the limit of the Solaris is the ammount of memory that can hold the 25K server, wich was the theorical supported memory by the Solaris?
Thanks to 98_1LE for the answer.
looking at the biggest "unix"mashine you can get from IBM, that would be a IBM eServer p5 595, with up to 64 CPUs and 2TB RAM; the "old" p690 with 32 p4 and 1 TB RAM. looking to HP, 128 PA-8900 with 1 TB. SGI uses a technologie named SGI NUMAflex there you can combine up to 512 CPUs and 1TB in one image.
so noone can prove that AIX can handle 64 TB, it makes no sense to talk about theorical supported memory, right now no unix has a chance to get more than the hardware provide 
when we will have 64TB RAM to use, we have new releases of the unix derivates...

You need to brush up on your German everyone =p

Oh so!, e.g. does AIX in architecture 16TB of the memory thank, the restriction by the SUN Solaris is over a Terabyte for its answer, does support?
