Server Blade Operation - Hitachi Compute Blade 2000 User Manual

Server blade operation

When running a server blade, you can perform operations remotely
using the OS console and the remote console.
Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
between server blades
With high-performance server blades, you can connect 2 server blades with the 2-
blade SMP connection board or connect 4 server blades with the 4-blade SMP
connection board to form SMP configuration with up to 8 central processing units
(CPUs). See "PR Command" in Chapter 6 for how to change partitions for SMP
configuration.
 Primary server blade and partition number
Between multiple server blades composing 2-blade or 4-blade SMP configuration, a
server blade installed in a slot with a smaller number, located on the left viewed from
the front, is called the primary server blade. The primary server blade can be
installed in slot #0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 in the 2-blade SMP configuration. The slot to which
the primary server blade is installed is the partition number.
