10 Processor Sets (Psets) on

nPartitions

This chapter describes how to use and manage processor sets (Psets) on

nPartition systems.

Using Psets, you can create multiple independent processor groups in an

nPartition. Each Pset has its own processors, schedules, and attributes.

Because Psets are dynamic, you can create, modify, and destroy Psets

instantly as your system needs demand.

HP’s processor set software is an optional package that is free for all

HP-UX 11i systems and is available at the http://software.hp.com

Web site.

The same Pset features are available on all HP-UX 11i systems,

including both non-partitionable systems and nPartitions servers.

On nPartition servers, however, you should be aware of the nPartition

system conﬁguration issues that can affect your use of processor sets.

This chapter covers special conﬁguration issues for Psets in nPartition

environments.

NOTE Using both Processor Sets (Psets) and iCOD simultaneously is supported

for iCOD Purchase Version 5.0 and higher only.
