3.2.1 Partitioning Design Rules (1/2)
One or more usable SBs and one or more usable IOUs are required in one partition.

For essential operations, it is recommended to set them in a partition with the

lowest partition number and also incorporate SBs with lower SB numbers in the
partition.
It is recommended that the SB with the lowest SB number is specified as the

Home SB.
When including DUs and PCI Boxes in a partition, include the IOU for connecting

these components in the same partition.
Note that the performance and the number of software licenses may vary if

Reserved SB switching occurs or the system configuration is changed.

(If an IOU is degraded, the DUs and PCI Boxes that are connected to the IOU are also degraded.)
