Configuring and Managing Superdome Partitions
Configuring Superdome Hardware and Partitions
Chapter 4128
Examples The following example cell assignments show how the procedure
discussed above selects cells for two sample complex configurations.
Refer to the procedure, above, and the recommended partition charts
that follow.
For reference in the following examples, Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 on
page 131 list a unique number for each partition configuration set. (For
example, config set 4 shows the four two-cell partition configurations
that HP recommends for Superdome 32-way servers.)
• Example 1
Superdome 32-way—Six-Cell Partition and Two-Cell Partition
A Superdome 32-way server with a six-cell and two-cell partition
would be configured with partitions 6A and 2B, as shown in Figure
4-1.
In Figure 4-1, configuration sets 4–10 are eligible to be assigned on
Superdome 32-way servers. The assignments are:
1. 6A (config set 8), the recommended six-cell partition.
2. 2B (config set 4), because cells 0 and 2 (2A) are assigned to 6A.
3. Partitions 6A and 2B use all cells in the complex.
• Example 2
Superdome 64-way—Seven-Cell Partition and Two Four-Cell
Partitions
A Superdome 64-way server with a seven-cell partition and two
four-cell partitions would be configured with partitions 7A, 4B, and
4E, as shown in Figure 4-2.
In Figure 4-2, configuration sets 11–29 are eligible to be assigned on
Superdome 64-way servers.
1. 7A (config set 20), the first recommended seven-cell partition.
2. 4B (config set 16), because cells in 4A are used by 7A.
3. 4E (config set 17), because some or all cells in 4A–D are assigned.
4. Partitions 7A, 4B, and 4E use all cells except one (cabinet 1, cell 4).
