For partitions for which HP recommends multiple configurations, select
the first available set of cells. For example, for a two-cell partition select
configuration 2A, if possible, before selecting 2B or 2C.
Step 4. Confirm that the cells you have selected are eligible to be assigned to the
partition.
For the cells to be eligible, they must meet these requirements:
• The cells must be present (installed) and must not be assigned to
another partition.
• The cells must meet the hardware requirements listed in “Partition
Hardware Requirements” on page 124.
If one or more of the cells does not adhere to these requirements, go back
to step 3 and select a different set of cells for the partition.
Step 5. Assign the cells to the partition.
You can either create a new partition that includes the selected cells, or
you can modify an existing partition so that it conforms to the partition
configuration recommended by the configuration chart.
