CHAPTER 3 Work before Operating System Installation
3.5 Partition Configuration (Extended Partitioning)
- Even if the assignment of DIMMs was physically divided, when a CPU error occurs all Extended Partitions may be
influenced.
5. Enable the socket binding mode
Socket binding is the function that assigns 2CPUs of the physical partition and the DIMMs belonging to the CPUs to
the Extended Partition. Socket binding guarantees that the number of CPU socket assigned to the Extended
Partition is one or two. For example, when the software license is decided by the number of CPU sockets Socket
binding mode is useful.
Check the check box of [SKT Binding] field of the Extended Partition and dick the [Apply] button.
Then socket binding is enabled.
If number of CPU sockets in physical partition is 2 or less,
Remark
If socket binding function is enabled, the assigning rule of the CPU core and the DIMM is below.
- In the case that the number specified in [CORE] is smaller than the total number of cores within 2CPUs, cores of
a specified number of [CORE] will be assigned to the Extended Partition.
- In the case that the number specified in [CORE] is greater than the total number of cores within 2CPUs, all cores
within 2CPUs will be assigned to the Extended Partition.
- In the case that the capacity specified in [GB] is smaller than the total capacity of the DIMM which belonging to
2CPUs, DIMM capacity specified in [GB] will be assigned to the Extended Partition.
- In the case that the capacity specified [GB] is greater than the total capacity of the DIMM belonging to 2CPUs, all
DIMMs belonging to 2CPUs will be assigned to the Extended Partition.
6. Assign VGA/USB/PCI Slot resources to Extended Partition.
Select [USB1], [VGA/USB2/rKVMS] and [PCI Slot] and click [Apply] button.
Remark
- Video Redirection and virtual media can be used by the Extended Partition where selected [VGA/USB2/rKVMS].
If VGA/USB2/rKVMS is assigned to other partition the following step are required.
a. Power off the Extended Partition which is assigned VGA/USB2/rKVMS.
b. Remove VGA/USB2/rKVMS of the Extended Partition and assign VGA/USB2/rKVMS to the Extended Partition
which uses Video Redirection and virtual media.
socket binding is not required.
