3.2.1 Extended Partitioning
PRIMEQUEST 2400E3/2800E3/2400E2/2800E2/2400E/2800E supports the Extended Partitioning function.
Extended Partitioning is a function for partitioning the Physical partition with the firmware in the CPU core
units. A low-cost, highly reliable and secure means is provided for the server aggregation needs. The
hardware resource partitioning by Extended Partitioning can be set using the MMB WEB-UI.
For details on the partition configuration, see
Maximum number of
Physical partitions
Maximum number of
Extended Partitions per
server
Note
- Before enabling the Extended Partitioning, check the operation for the test of the middleware products
and applications.
- In the Extended Partition, one CPU socket may be shared by multiple Extended Partitions based on the
configuration. You may note performance of application decreases in environment where CPU socket is
shared by multiple extended partitions due to conflict for allotment of CPU resources. In this case Intel(R)
Turbo Boost may not perform as expected. Even if you allot cores to the Extended Partition by the unit of
CPU sockets, performance of Intel(R) Turbo Boost is may be lower than that for physical partition. To
avoid this problem, you must allot CPU sockets to Extended Partitions. For details of MMB Web-UI, see
"PRIMEQUEST2000 series Tool Reference" (CA92344-0539)
Management functions
Extended Partitioning is controlled by MMB Web-UI. The functions of Web-UI are as follows.
- Extended Partitioning status display function
- Setting the Extended Partition mode
- Extended Partition power management
- Extended Partition reset/NMI
- Extended Partition Activate, Deactivate
- Extended Partition configuration change
