5.7 Partition configuration definition method

5.7 Partition configuration definition method
The partition configuration is defined using MMB Web-UI.
To do so, a partition is first created. Next, SB, IOU and Home SB/Memory Scale-up Board, having specific
partition identifiers, and belonging to the partition are registered in the MMB Web-UI [Partition] → [Partition
Configuration] window. Then, the Memory Operation Mode and Reserved SB are set as needed.
For details on the setup procedure, see the "PRIMEQUEST 2000 Series Tool Reference" (CA92344-0539).
Remarks
The changes in the partition configuration are applied in the each partition unit when power cycled. The
changes are not applied when rebooting the partition. Be sure to stop the partition once and then operate.

Notes on the partition configuration

This section provides notes on the partition configuration.
SB that operates a partition must use the CPUs and memory.
Memory Scale-up Board that operates a partition must use the memory.
Memory Scale-up Board cannot be set to Home SB. If you include Memory Scale-up Board into a partition,
at least one SB must be included in the partition.
For the details on the partition configuration, see '3.1 Partition configuration' of the "PRIMEQUEST 2000
Series Administration Manual" (CA92344-0537)

Dynamic Reconfiguration Function

Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) is a function that changes the resource configuration of a partition without
rebooting the partition.

5.10 Flexible I/O Mode

The PRIMEQUEST 2000 series (except for PRIMEQUEST 2800B3/2800B2/2800B) supports flexible I/O
modes as I/ O connection modes. The flexible I/O function can configure a partition by combining any
SB/Memory Scale-up Board and IOU regardless of the mounting location.
The flexible I/O function makes it possible to respond flexibly to modifications of the SB/Memory Scale-up
Board resources and I/O resources, and failure degradation.
