Hard
Partition Configuration Example The following example illustrates setup of hard partitions
on ES47/ES80/GS1280 systems. For information on using GCM, the Graphical
Configuration Manager, to view and manage a partitioned configuration,
see the GCM chapter of this document. For soft partition setup,
see
Creating an OpenVMS Galaxy on AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 Systems.
The following example shows setup of three hard partitions on a 32-processor
system. Two partitions have eight processors each; the other partition
has 16 processors. The partitions are assigned on 8P SBB boundaries.
For information on the server management command line interface
(CLI), see the reference manual available at the following location:
Hard and soft partition names
are limited to 19 characters (alphanumeric and underscore only).
The server management CLI is case insensitive.
In this example, the consoles can be accessed on telnet ports
323, 324, and 325. The hard partitions are called part0, part1,and part2;
each is created with the default of 255 CPUs. The subpartition type
is soft. CPU and IO resources are then assigned to each partition.
The assign component command assigns the entire SBB to the component;
in the example, each drawer in the cabinet has 8 processors.
Please refer to the CLI_Reference.pdf manual mentioned earlier
for changes to these commands.
