Summary
of Change |
 |
What’s
New for Customers Migrating from HP-UX 11i v1 September 2005?
Partition Manager includes the ability to enable and disable
Hyper-Threading for nPartitions whose cells have processors that
are Hyper-Threading capable (such as dual-core Intel® Itanium® 2 processors).
Impact |
 |
This release includes support for online activation of cells.
The Activate Cell Online action enables you to integrate an
inactive cell into an nPartition without rebooting the nPartition.
The cell being activated must already be assigned to the nPartition.
After the online activation, the cell is active and its resources are
integrated to make them available to the OS running on the nPartition.
Online cell operations are supported only on servers based
on the HP sx1000 or sx2000 chipset. The cell being activated must
be assigned to an nPartition running HP-UX 11i v3.
