Overview of Partitions
The PRIMEQUEST series allows one system to be divided into multiple systems,
with each system operating as an independent system. Each of the individual systems
resulting from such division is called a partition. An operating system (OS) can run
independently on each partition. This enables running multiple servers, which
operate independently from one another, as a single server.
Each partition is protected by hardware so that it is not affected by invalid accesses
from another partition. Therefore, a failure (such as an OS panic) occurring in one
partition does not affect job processing in other partitions directly. The OS can be
rebooted and shut down independently in each partition. These operations are
performed by the system administrator of each partition.
In each partition, system boards (SB) and IO_Units can be combined as required. The
configuration of a partition can be defined by using the Web-UI of the management
board (MMB).
