1.6 Features (1/7)
nHardware Partitioning (PPAR) [2400E/2800E Only]
PPAR creates multiple separate blocks (partitions) in one cabinet and operates
an independent system in each partition to allow flexible system operation.
•A different OS can be operated in each partition.
•The OS in a partition can be rebooted or
shut down separately from other partitions.
•The partitions can be configured flexibly by
using flexible I/O and Reserved SBs.
For details, refer to "3.2 Key Points
for Hardware Partitioning Design".
•Multiple works can be constructed in a single
cabinet, and multiple servers that are
operated separately from each other
can be integrated in the cabinet.
•If a failure occurs in a partition,
the hardware can protect other partitions
from being affected by the failure.
