Dual Core Support in Instant Capacity Systems

With dual core processing, each cell board has four sockets and each socket accepts a CPU module that contains two processor cores. You can upgrade an Instant Capacity Superdome system to a dual core system by replacing the cell boards and processors. Contact your HP service representative for details on upgrading to dual core processors.

The Instant Capacity versions B.07.x software supports dual core processors. The software treats each core as a processor and allows the following actions at the core level:

•Applying right-to-use (RTU) licenses

•Activating and deactivating processors

•Load balancing processors across partitions

•Configuring processors in virtual partitions
