manual abstract


Repeat with any other QBBs to add. 5. Specify the operating system for the partition in the OS type dropdown list, and, optionally, supply a name for the partition in the name block. Click OK. The Create/Modify a Partition Map screen returns. 6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 to add other partitions. As QBBs are added, the message below the Total block indicates if the hardware requirements of a partition have been met. Each partition must have 9-14 SMC Installation and User's Guide at least one CPU, 64 Mbytes of memory, and an I/O riser module that is connected to a master PCI box with a standard I/O module. The partition shown in Figure 9–7 does not yet have a connection to a PCI box with a standard I/O module. In Figure 9–8 this is resolved by adding QBB 7 to the partition. The message below the Total block now indicates that the hardware requirements for a partition have been met. NOTE: You can add an unpowered QBB to a partition if that partition already has at least one QBB that is powered and if the hardware requirements for a valid partition have been met. Memory in the unpowered QBB cannot be seen until the QBB is powered on.

If the map has not been saved to a file, a message displays asking you to do so. When you click Commit, CAPM first validates the configuration, then it applies the map to the GS80/160/320 system and restarts the system. A status box displays (Figure 9–16), showing the progress of the commit, and the commit status is written to the log file. (See Section 9.6.)
