The DVD solution for Superdome requires the following components. These components are recommended per partition,
although it is acceptable to have only one DVD solution and connect it to one partition at a time. External racks A4901A
and A4902A must also be ordered with the DVD solution.

Superdome can be configured with hardware partitions, (npars). Given that HP-UX 11i version 2 does not support virtual
partitions (vpars), Superdome systems running HP-UX 11i version 2 do not support vpars.
A hardware partition (npar) consists of one or more cells that communicate coherently over a high bandwidth, low latency
crossbar fabric. Individual processors on a single-cell board cannot be separately partitioned. Hardware partitions are
logically isolated from each other such that transactions in one partition are not visible to the other hardware partitions
within the same complex.
Each npar runs its own independent operating system. Different npars may be executing the same or different revisions of an
operating system, or they may be executing different operating systems altogether. Superdome supports HP-UX 11i version 2
(at first release), Windows Server 2003 (at first release + 2 to 4 months) and Linux (first release + 6 months) operating
systems.
Each npar has its own independent CPUs, memory and I/O resources consisting of the resources of the cells that make up
the partition. Resources (cell boards and/or I/O chassis) may be removed from one npar and added to another without
having to physically manipulate the hardware, but rather by using commands that are part of the System Management
interface. The table below shows the maximum size of npars per operating system:
For information on type of I/O cards for networking and mass storage for each operating environment, please refer to the
Technical Specifications section. For licensing information for each operating system, please refer to the Ordering Guide.
Superdome supports static partitions. Static partitions imply that any npar configuration change requires a reboot of the
npar. In a future HP-UX and Windows release, dynamic npars will be supported. Dynamic npars imply that npar
configuration changes do not require a reboot of the npar. Using the related capabilities of dynamic reconfiguration (i.e. on-
line addition, on-line removal), new resources may be added to an npar and failed modules may be removed and replaced
while the npar continues in operation. Adding new npars to Superdome system does not require a reboot of the system.
