1 Introduction
A cell-based HP Integrity server (such as the rx7620, the rx7640, the rx8620, the rx8640, or
Superdome) can be configured as a single system or partitioned into several independent systems.
Partitioning provides hardware and software isolation, in which each partition is assigned
memory, processors, and I/O resources for its exclusive use, and executes its own operating
system image. This chapter introduces node partitions (nPartitions) on cell-based HP Integrity
servers running Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 and describes the tools to manage them.
Quick Start
This section provides an overview of the installation and configuration steps needed to get you
up and running as quickly as possible.
Figure 1-1
shows the hardware, software, and most commonly used connection method. All
components are described in greater detail later in this chapter.
Figure 1-1 System overview
The most common setup for nPartition management of HP Integrity servers running Windows
involves a remote management station. This dedicated management station hosts the management
tools and issues commands over a network connection to the server's management processor,
enabling you to manage the complex even if no nPartitions exist on the complex yet.
To set up and configure the management station:
1.
Establish a dedicated management station for the HP Integrity server. See
management station" (page
2.
Install the nPartition tools. See
