2.5 Partition Initialization
2.5.3 Splitting and merging SBs, IO Units, and IOXs (in the
PRIMEQUEST 500A/500 series only)
With the PRIMEQUEST 500A/500 series, you can logically split SBs, IO Units, and
IOXs into two separate units as necessary, enabling flexible system configuration .
This section describes procedures for splitting and merging SBs, IO Units, and IOXs.
Remarks: SBs, IO Units, and IOXs belonging to a partition operating in Extended
Mirror Mode cannot be split.
You can split and merge only free SBs, IO Units, and IOXs. To split or merge any
SBs, IO Units, and IOXs that already belong to partitions, they must first be
unregistered from the partition.
Notes:
•
If the XPAR license has not been registered, the [Split Configuration] menu, [SB
Split] window, and [IOU Split] window are not displayed.
• Extended Mirror Mode cannot be set in partitions containing SBs, IO Units or
IOXs split with XPAR set. No split SB, IO Unit, or IOX can be assigned to a
partition that is set in Extended Mirror Mode.
•
No SB split with XPAR set can be assigned as the reserved SB of a partition that
is set in Extended Mirror Mode. Extended Mirror Mode cannot be set in
partitions to which split SBs are assigned as reserved SBs.
• XPAR is supported only in the PRIMEQUEST 500A/500 series, and the XPAR
option is required for setting XPAR.
