• Have multiple core cells available within each partition, if possible.
In order to have multiple core cell choices, the partition must have at
least two cells, each connected to an I/O chassis and core I/O.
Having such a configuration provides redundancy and potentially
improved system availability. If one core cell has a failure or
otherwise cannot serve as the active core cell, the second core-capable
cell can serve as the active core cell.
Disregard this guideline if configuring multiple partitions in an HP
rp8400 server complex. HP rp8400 servers have up to two
core-capable cells only, so following this guideline would require
having only one nPartition in the server complex.
