NOTE: The HP DVD-ROM Array Module for the TA5300
(C7499B) is replaced by HP DVD+RW Array Module (Q1592A) to
provide customers with read capabilities for loading software from
CD or DVD, DVD write capabilities for small amounts of data (up
to 4 GB) and offline hot-swap capabilities. Windows supports using
and reading from this device, but Windows does not support DVD
write with this device. OpenVMS supports reading and booting,
only, from this device, at this time.
DDS-4/DAT40 (DDS-5/DAT 72 is also supported. Product number
is Q1524B) (one per partition)
Jumper SCSI Cable for DDS-4 (optional)
SCSI cable 1-meter multi-mode VH-HD68
SCSI Terminator

Not supported by Linux
Superdome can be configured with hardware partitions, (nPars). Superdome systems running Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
or OpenVMS, do not support virtual partitions (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 and electrically 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 and 3, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 for Itanium based
Systems, SUSE SLES 9 ,10 amd 11, Red Hat RHEL AS 3,4 and 5, and OpenVMS operating systems. The
diagram below shows a multi OS environment within Superdome.
NOTE:
NOTE: The sx2000 Superdome with Mad9M processors only supports HP UX 11i version2 and 3 , and
NOTE:
NOTE:
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems, (does not support any version of Linux or
OpenVMS)
Each nPar has its own independent processors, 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
