Server Hardware Support for nPartitions
Three Hewlett-Packard servers support nPartitions: HP Superdome, HP
rp8400, and HP rp7410 servers.
These HP nPartition servers provide highly configurable,
high-performance HP-UX system environments. HP Superdome, HP
rp8400, and HP rp7410 server cabinets are shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 HP nPartition Server Cabinets
Within each HP nPartition server cabinet are multiple cells, each of
which contains processors and memory. Each server cabinet also may
have multiple I/O chassis that provide PCI slots for I/O cards. Each I/O
chassis connects to one of the cells in the server.
HP Superdome servers also support I/O expansion cabinets to provide
additional I/O chassis.
All hardware within a server—including all cells, I/O chassis, cables,
cabinet hardware, and power and utilities components—is considered to
be a server complex.
