Example 2-1 Example nPartition Configuration
for a Superdome 32-way Server
This example configures an HP Superdome 32-way server with one
six-cell nPartition and one two-cell nPartition.
A Superdome 32-way server with a six-cell and two-cell nPartition would
be configured with nPartitions 6A and 2B, as shown in Figure 2-3 on
page 120.
In Figure 2-3, configuration sets 5–13 are eligible to be assigned on
Superdome 32-way servers. The nPartition cell assignments are:
1. 6A (config set 11), the recommended six-cell nPartition.
2. 2B (config set 6), because cells 0 and 2 (2A) are assigned to 6A.
3. nPartitions 6A and 2B use all cells in the complex.
