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 - HP Integrity rx8620 | Installation (Smart Setup) Guide, Windows Server 2008, v6. - Page 86
competing applications. Cell Structure of nPartitions HP Integrity mid-range and high-end servers (rx7620/rx7640, rx8620/rx8640, and Superdome) are composed of cells or cell boards. A cell consists of up to four processor modules, contains memory modules (up to 32 DIMMs for Superdome cells, up to - HP Integrity rx8620 | Installation (Smart Setup) Guide, Windows Server 2008, v6. - Page 87

Cell and nPartition Boot Phases The nPartition boot process on HP Integrity servers involves two phases: the cell boot phase and the nPartition boot - HP Integrity rx8620 | Installation (Smart Setup) Guide, Windows Server 2008, v6. - Page 89
server complex. The Stable Complex Configuration Data contains complex-wide configuration details and the Partition Configuration Data contains details specific to the nPartition.

IPMI On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the MP supports IPMI. IPMI is an industry-standard interface that defines common, message-based interfaces to platform management hardware and common records for describing devices and their characteristics. The IPMI specification supports extensions such as - HP Integrity rx8620 | Installation (Smart Setup) Guide, Windows Server 2008, v6. - Page 91
remote complex using IPMI over LAN. NOTE: You must use IPMI over LAN to manage nPartitions remotely if none of the nPartitions on the target server have been booted or configured yet. To use IPMI over LAN, you must enable IPMI LAN access at the MP, set the MP IPMI password - HP Integrity rx8620 | Installation (Smart Setup) Guide, Windows Server 2008, v6. - Page 92

nPartitions exist on the complex yet. This is called remote management mode. The other option is to install nPar tools onto an nPartition on the server, and then use them to manage the other nPartitions in the system. This is called local management mode.

Disadvantages of local management follow: • Requires at least one nPartition to be configured and booted to Windows (or to another OS supporting this reason, HP recommends that - HP Integrity rx8620 | Installation (Smart Setup) Guide, Windows Server 2008, v6. - Page 95
an nPartition with full privileges can modify the configuration of that nPartition only. All other nPartition configurations are read-only for them. • With HP SMH, you can grant read-only and read/write permissions to any OS group. Only Windows administrators are given full permissions.
