HP Superdome 2 Partitioning Administrator Guide (5900-2540, December 2012)

NOTE: Either 1 Gb or 2 Gb of ILM is reserved by System Firmware for boot and run-time needs
of the nPartition.
For example, consider an nPar configured in nPars mode and 100% SLM. After poweron,
parstatus would report 2 Gb of memory in ILM.
Before poweron:
[Partition]
Par State/ Status* # of # of ILM/ Partition Name
Num RunState Blades IOBays SLM (first 15
(GB)** characters)
=== ======================= ======= ====== ====== ============= ===============
3 Inactive /DOWN OK 1 0 0.0/32.0 nPar0003
After poweron:
[Partition]
Par State/ Status* #of #of ILM/ Partition Name
Num RunState Blades IOBays SLM (first 15
(GB)** characters)
=== ======================= ======= ====== ====== ============= ===============
3 Active /EFI OK 1 0 2.0/30.0 nPar0003
Now consider an nPar with 100% SLM configured in vPars mode with a max_vpars value of 2.
Before poweron:
[Partition]
Par State/ Status* #of #of ILM/ Partition Name
Num RunState Blades IOBays SLM (first 15
(GB)** characters)
=== ======================= ======= ====== ====== ============= ===============
4 Inactive /DOWN OK 1 0 0.0/32.0 nPar0004
