HP Superdome Hybrid Servers: Intel® Itanium® 2 and PA-RISC nPartition Mixing
HP Superdome servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset can support hybrid configurations with
both PA-RISC nPartitions and Intel® Itanium® 2 nPartitions in the same server complex.
NOTE:
For details and restrictions on mixing PA-RISC nPartitions and Intel® Itanium® 2
nPartitions on HP Superdome servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset, see the HP Integrity
Superdome/sx2000 Service Guide.
On Superdome hybrid servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset, each nPartition must have only
PA-RISC processor or Intel® Itanium® 2 processors. However, both types of nPartitions can
reside in the same server complex. Within each PA-RISC nPartition, all cells must have the same
processor revision level. Within each Intel® Itanium® 2 nPartition, all cells must have the same
cell compatibility value.
The first-generation cell-based HP 9000 servers include the following models:
