Dual Core Support in Instant Capacity Systems
Each HP cellular complex has four sockets, and with dual core processing, each socket accepts
a CPU module that contains two processor cores. You can upgrade an Instant Capacity Superdome
system to a dual core system by replacing the cell boards and processors. Contact your HP service
representative for details on upgrading to dual core processors.
The Instant Capacity software supports dual core processors. The software treats each core
individually and allows the following actions at the core level:
• Applying Right to Use (RTU) codewords
• Activating and deactivating
• Load balancing across partitions
• Configuring in virtual partitions
