SKA4/SPKA4 Important Information
Service Partition
The service partition is a special hard disk partition.
It is established when you initially set
up the server system and contains utilities, diagnostics, and other software required for
remote management.
The service partition is not marked as an active partition and the
server will only boot from it by a special request.
It is not normally visible to the server
user because it has a special non-standard partition type that does not appear as an
accessible file system to the end user operating system.
However, low level disk utilities
can see the partition entry as an unknown type, and recognize its space.
The utilities and diagnostics on the service partition can be run locally or remotely.
In
order to run the utilities and diagnostics the server must boot from the service partition.
Remote execution is available from the Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console Manager
and System Setup Utility (SSU) Client.
For complete installation instructions, see the
Installation Guide for the Intel
®
Server
Control
(747116-00x).
We recommend you install the service partition before
installing an OS.
