1.6 Features (1/7)
Hardware Partitioning (PPAR)

PPAR creates multiple separate blocks (partitions) in one cabinet and operates
an independent system in each partition to allow flexible system operation.
•A different OS can be operated in each partition.
•An OS in one partition can be rebooted or
shut down separately from other partitions.
•The partitions can be configured flexibly by
using flexible I/O and Reserved SBs.
For details, refer to
for Hardware Partitioning
•Multiple configurations can be operated
in a single cabinet, and multiple servers
that are operated separately from each
other can be integrated in the cabinet.
•If a failure occurs in a partition,
the hardware can protect other partitions
from being affected by the failure.
