Two-Cell nPartition Server Model | |
The following cell-based HP servers scale from one to two
cells: The HP rp7405/rp7410 server has
single-core HP PA-RISC processors. The model string
is: 9000/800/rp7410. The HP rp7420 server has dual-core
HP PA-RISC processors: PA-8800 processors, which provide two processor cores
per processor socket. The model string is: 9000/800/rp7420. The HP rp7440 server has dual-core
HP PA-RISC processors: PA-8900 processors, which provide two processor cores

Itanium® 2 processors, either single-processor modules or HP mx2 dual-processor
modules. Both HP mx2 dual-processor modules and single
Itanium 2 processors can exist in the same complex, but they cannot be mixed
in the same nPartition. The model command output is: ia64 hp
rx7620 server. The HP rx7640 server has single-core
or dual-core Intel® Itanium® 2 processors. The model command
output is: ia64 hp rx7640 server.
Figure 2-1 shows
a two-cell HP server cabinet. On the two-cell HP servers you can configure a single nPartition
using one or both cells, or can configure up to two separate nPartitions within
the server complex. In a two-nPartition complex, you use cell 0 and its core
I/O in one nPartition, and use cell 1 and its core I/O in the other nPartition. The two-cell HP server models includes these features: A single server cabinet that includes
all cells, I/O chassis, processors, memory, PCI cards, and core I/O. Either one or two cells. Each cell
has up to four processor sockets and up to 16 DIMMs. Two PCI I/O chassis that share the
same chassis hardware. One I/O chassis is connected
to cell 0, the other is connected to cell 1. Each I/O chassis has 8 PCI card slots, numbered from 1
to 8. A total server complex capacity
of: 2 cells, 8 processor sockets, 32 DIMMs, and 16 PCI card slots.
Two-cell HP servers include a single server cabinet that
may be rack-mounted or a stand-alone server configuration. Four-Cell nPartition Server Model | |
The following cell-based HP servers scale from one to four
cells: The HP rp8400 server has single-core
HP PA-RISC processors. The model string is: 9000/800/S16K-A. The HP rp8420 server has dual-core
HP PA-RISC processors: PA-8800 processors, which provide two processor cores
per processor socket. The model string is: 9000/800/rp8420. The HP rp8440 server has dual-core
HP PA-RISC processors: PA-8900 processors, which provide two processor cores
per processor socket. The model string is: 9000/800/rp8440. The HP rx8620 server has Intel®
Itanium® 2 processors, either single-processor modules or HP mx2 dual-processor
modules. Both HP mx2 dual-processor modules and single
Itanium 2 processors can exist in the same complex, but they cannot be mixed
in the same nPartition. The model command output is: ia64 hp
rx8620 server. The HP rx8640 server has single-core
or dual-core Intel® Itanium® 2 processors. The model command
output is: ia64 hp rx8640 server.
Figure 2-2 shows
an overview of a four-cell HP server cabinet. You can configure a single nPartition using some or all
cells, or can configure up to four separate nPartitions within the server
complex when using an I/O expansion cabinet. In a multiple-nPartition four-cell server complex, you
would use cell 0 and its I/O chassis in one nPartition, and use cell 1 and
its I/O chassis in another nPartition. The other cells (cells 2 and 3) can
be assigned to either of the two nPartitions, or if connected to I/O in an
expansion cabinet can be used to create additional nPartitions. The four-cell HP servers include these features: A single server cabinet that includes
cells, I/O chassis, processors, memory, PCI cards, and core I/O. Two PCI I/O chassis in the server cabinet share the same chassis
hardware. One I/O chassis is connected to cell 0, the other is connected to
cell 1. Each I/O chassis has 8 PCI card slots, numbered from 1 to 8. An optional I/O expansion cabinet
that provides an additional two core I/O cards and an additional two I/O domains
each containing eight PCI card slots (for a total of 16 more PCI card slots). Two PCI I/O chassis in the I/O expansion cabinet share
the same chassis hardware. One I/O chassis is connected to cell 2, the other
is connected to cell 3. From one to four cells. Each cell
has four processor sockets and up to 16 DIMMs. A total server complex capacity
of: 4 cells, 16 processor sockets, 64 DIMMs, and either 16 or 32 PCI card
slots.
Four-cell HP servers include a single server cabinet that
can be rack-mounted or stand-alone. An optional I/O expansion cabinet may
also be used to provide I/O connected to cell 2 and cell 3. Superdome Server Models | |
HP Superdome servers scale up to 16 cells. The following
types of HP Superdome servers are supported: The first-generation HP 9000 Superdome:
SD16000, SD32000, and SD64000 The HP sx1000-chipset-based HP 9000

Superdome server: SD16B, SD32B, and SD64B
A Support Management Station (SMS) is connected to each
HP Superdome server through the service processor private LAN port. The SMS
is either an HP-UX workstation or an HP ProLiant system running Microsoft®
Windows®. The SMS primarily is used for support and service purposes. The
Windows SMS supports Windows versions of Partition Manager and the nPartition
commands, thus enabling remote administration of nPartitions from the SMS.
For details see “SMS (Support Management Station) for HP Superdome Servers”. You can add up to two Superdome I/O expansion cabinets
to the Superdome 32-way/64-way and Superdome 64-way/128-way server models.
