From CMT perspective, out T1, AMD, Intel x86 platforms does introduce variance from traditional
SMP platforms. First, from HW platform point of view, physical processor structures changed to core
based, Second from Solaris point of view, kernel CPU structures, CPC counters, CPUTrack, CPUStat
Kstat changed (including all core changes), Third, from system management point of SNMP MIBII
database structure changed. This will impact current system management parametric model learning and system management view design.
From LDOM perspective, more virtualization based predictive modeling and reporting design needs to
be enhanced to predict and measure physical resources, kernel CPU structures, CPC counters and MIB
structures.

In general, to have system management to be earlier CMT and LDOM adaptor, they could need some level of support from Sun. This is just a proactive assessments.
