between them, thus preventing I/O cards from creating faults on other I/O paths. I/O cards in
hardware partitions (nPars) are fully isolated from I/O cards in other hard partitions. It is not
possible for an I/O failure to propagate across hard partitions. It is possible to dynamically repair
and add I/O cards to an existing running partition.

"HA Cluster-In-A-Box" Configuration: The "HA Cluster-In-A-Box" allows for failover of users'
"HA Cluster-In-A-Box" Configuration
applications between hardware partitions (nPars) on a single Superdome system. All providers of
mission critical solutions agree that failover between clustered systems provides the safest
availability-no single points of failures (SPOFs) and no ability to propagate failures between
systems. However, HP supports the configuration of HA cluster software in a single system to allow
the highest possible availability for those users that need the benefits of a non-clustered solution,
such as scalability and manageability. Superdome with this configuration will provide the greatest
single system availability configurable. Since no single system solution in the industry provides
protection against a SPOF, users that still need this kind of safety and HP's highest availability
should use HA cluster software in a multiple system HA configuration. Multiple HA software
clusters can be configured within a single Superdome system (i.e., two 4-node clusters configured
within a 32-processor Superdome system).
