Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS Partitions

A single GS60E can be divided into a maximum of two partitions. Each partition is allocated its own set of hardware resourcesCPU, memory, and I/O module. Partitioning support requiresTru64 UNIX V4.0F or later, or OpenVMS V7.2 or later operating system and partitioning licenses.

System Console Firmware Revision 5.5x is required.

Each partition requires a minimum of one CPU module, one memory module, one I/O module, and one DWLPB (PCI and PIU shelf) per partition.

Each partition has its own instance of the operating system, independent system console, and error log.

Each partition must have a dedicated console terminal. The first partition will obtain this support in a standard manner via the server console panel. The second partition requires a 3X-KFE72- LA to obtain this console support. H8571-J adapter is required to connect 3X-KFE72-LA to the console terminal; 3X-KFE72-LA includes a diskette drive, which is required to support RAID Configuration Utility (RCU).

For more information regarding Tru64 UNIX V4.0F partitioning configuration hardware guidelines and console partition commands, see Tru64 UNIX V4.0F SPD 41.61.22 and Tru64 UNIX V4.0F System Administration Guide, Appendix E.4.
