Hardware Partitioning (PPAR)
PPAR creates multiple separate blocks (partitions) in one cabinet and operates
an independent system in each partition to allow flexible system operation.
•
A different OS can be operated in each partition.
•
An OS in one partition can be rebooted or
shut down separately from other partitions.
•
The partitions can be configured flexibly by
using flexible I/O and Reserved SBs.
For details, refer to "
for Hardware Partitioning Design
•
Multiple configurations can be operated
in a single cabinet, and multiple servers
that are operated separately from each
other can be integrated in the cabinet.
•
If a failure occurs in a partition,
the hardware can protect other partitions
from being affected by the failure.
