Moving a Cell from one Partition to Another

When moving a cell from one partition to another partition, in an iCOD

system, the number of requested active processors for each partition does

not automatically change. The following example illustrates this:

While the total number of processors changed in each partition, par0 is

left with a requested active number that can’t be satisfied, and par1 by

default does not automatically have an increase in the number of

requested active processors. Be sure to use icod_modify to adjust the

number of requested active processors for each partition affected by a

complex re-configuration.

NOTE Cell boards are dedicated to specific partitions and cannot be shared

between partitions. All processors on a cell board are only accessible by a

maximum of one partition. Processors on one cell board cannot be shared

across multiple partitions.
