HP Server Support for nPartitions
HP supports nPartition capabilities on cell-based servers, listed in Table 1-2.
On HP Superdome servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset, you can mix both PA-RISC nPartitions
and Intel® Itanium® 2 nPartitions in the same server complex under specific system
configurations. For details, refer to “HP Superdome Hybrid Servers: Intel® Itanium® 2 and
PA-RISC nPartition Mixing” (page 17).
The same basic nPartition features are supported for cell-based HP 9000 servers and cell-based
HP Integrity servers, though some differences exist in the sets of supported tools and management
capabilities. Where such differences exist, this document notes them.
