HP Superdome 2 terminology
Table 1-1 “HP Superdome 2 terminology”
describes terms specific to HP Superdome 2.
Table 1-1 HPSuperdome 2 terminology
Description
Term
On HP Superdome 2 platforms, resources in the complex are
identified by a resource path. The Resource Path describes physical
hardware resources in a hierarchy of elements called entity. Each
resource path consists of a hierarchical list of entity numbers. The
hierarchy describes parent-child relationships. The parent is listed
to the left of the child. Each entity number is relative to the parent.
The separator between the entity numbers is the slash (/) character.
For more information on resource path, see
help resourcepath
. For
example, the resource path
1/1
identifies blade 1 in enclosure 1 of
a HP Superdome 2 complex.
Resource path
LoMs represent the network ports on the blade.
LAN on Motherboards (LoMs)
This is the active instance of the Onboard Administrator.
Monarch OA
Platforms that have Onboard Administrator (OA) based partition
management support partition specifications or parspecs. A parspec
is a collection of data that defines the configuration of a specific
nPartition, including the virtual partitions in the nPartition if the
customer has defined any virtual partitions. For more information
on partition specifications, see
“Partition Specifications (parspec)”
Partition specifications (parspecs)
The Onboard Administrator instance which can take over the role
of the Active or Monarch OA in the event of a failure of the Monarch
OA.
Standby/Redundant OA
A socket on HP Superdome 2 represents the Field Replacable
processing unit on a blade. Each socket presents 4 CPU-cores.
Socket
A unit that contains CPU-cores, memory and onboard Network
Interface cards (NICs). A blade is the equivalent of a cell (in
cell-based platforms) in terms of being the unit of assignment for
defining nPartitions.
Blades
A unit that can be added to an HP Superdome 2 complex to add I/O
slots to the complex. An IOX provides upto 12 PCIe slots.
IOX / I/O Bay
The unit that hosts either a blade or an IO Bay in an HP Superdome
2 complex.
