11 DA-10352-00A-001
Compaq AlphaServer GS60E
Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS Partitions
A single GS60E can be divided into a maximum of
two partitions. Each partition is allocated its own
set of hardware resources− CPU, memory, and
I/O module. Partitioning support requiresTru64
UNIX V4.0F or later, or OpenVMS V7.2 or later
operating system and partitioning licenses.
System Console Firmware Revision 5.5x is required.
Each partition requires a minimum of one CPU
module, one memory module, one I/O module,
and one DWLPB (PCI and PIU shelf) per partition.
Each partition has its own instance of the operating
system, independent system console, and error
log.
Each partition must have a dedicated console
terminal. The first partition will obtain this support
in a standard manner via the server console
panel. The second partition requires a 3X-KFE72-
LA to obtain this console support. H8571-J
adapter is required to connect 3X-KFE72-LA to
the console terminal; 3X-KFE72-LA includes a
diskette drive, which is required to support RAID
Configuration Utility (RCU).
For more information regarding Tru64 UNIX V4.0F
partitioning configuration hardware guidelines and
console partition commands, see Tru64 UNIX
V4.0F SPD 41.61.22 and Tru64 UNIX V4.0F
System Administration Guide, Appendix E.4.
For more information regarding OpenVMS Galaxy
partitioning guidelines and support, see
http://www.openvms.digital.com/availability/GALA
XY.HTML.
Minimum Hardware Required per GS60E Partition
Dual Alpha 21264 6/525-MHz CPU module (at least
one Rev. D01 CPU Alpha 21264 module per
system).
MS7CC-EA/FA/GA memory module (1 GB, 2 GB, 4
GB)
KFTHA-AA I/O module
DWLPB-DA shelf mount box
3X-KFE72-LA graphics console subsystem
3X-RRDRX-AA CD-ROM drive or network adapter;
additional SCSI CD-ROM's can be configured in
StorageWorks shelf using supported I/O adapters
Console terminal with shielded console cable
Tru64 UNIX Hardware Partition license per partition
for second partition support (QM-MT4AA-AA)
OpenVMS software partition license is required for
each CPU in a partition (QL-66XAA-3B/3C/3D/3F
)
Unsupported Options for GS60E Partitions
MEMORY CHANNEL; clustering of a partitioned
GS60E is not supported
NVRAM (Prestoserve Non-Volatile Random Access
Memory)
EISA devices
Supported Options List (SOL) restriction rules still
apply for maximum configurations of GS60E
systems.
