If using DAT72, it is recommended to use an A6829A dual port SCSI with daisy chaining to connect the DVD and the
DAT72 leaving the second port available to connect a SCSI data storage device.

Hardware Partitions
A hardware partition (nPar) consists of one or more cells that communicate coherently over a high bandwidth, low latency
crossbar fabric. Individual processors on a single cell board cannot be separately partitioned. nPars are logically isolated
from each other such that transactions in one nPar are not visible to other nPars within the same complex.
Each nPar runs its own independent operating system. Different nPars may be executing the same or different revisions of an
operating system. On HP Integrity Superdome systems, nPars may be executing different operating systems altogether (HP-
UX, Windows Server 2003 or Linux). Please refer to the HP Integrity Superdome section for details on these operating
systems.
Each nPar has its own independent CPUs, memory and I/O resources consisting of the resources of the cells that make up
the nPar. Resources may be removed from one nPar and added to another without having to physically manipulate the
hardware just by using commands that are part of the System Management interface.
Superdome HP-UX 11i supports static nPars. Static nPars imply that any nPar configuration change requires a reboot of that
nPar. In a future HP-UX release, dynamic nPars will be supported. Dynamic nPars imply that the nPar configuration
changes do not require a reboot of that nPar. Using the related capabilities of dynamic reconfiguration (i.e. on-line
addition, on-line removal), new resources may be added to an nPar and failed modules may be removed and replaced
while the nPar continues in operation.

A virtual partition (vPar) provides the capability of dividing a system into different HP UX operating system images. For
more details on vPars, please refer to Chapter 6 of this guide.
VPars is available on HP-UX 11i and therefore can run on Superdome PA-8600/PA-8700 servers.
