Collectively, all of the hardware components within
a Superdome system are referred to as a complex. Each
Superdome complex is comprised of the following building blocks:
cabinets (including power, cooling, and utility hardware), cells,
and I/O chassis.
You can configure each Superdome complex into one or more partitions: independent
virtual systems each capable of running an instance of HP-UX. See Chapter 4 “Configuring and Managing Superdome Partitions” for procedures on
managing the partitions within your Superdome complex (such as how
to assign cells, and their connected I/O chassis, to partitions).
The hardware components that are used by the overall complex
(for example, power supplies, utility hardware, and blowers) are
not assigned to specific partitions.
This chapter covers the tasks you perform to manage the components that
are common to all partitions in your Superdome complex.
