Compaq AlphaServer

 GS60E

Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS Partitions

A single GS60E can be divided into a maximum of

two partitions. Each partition is allocated its own

set of hardware resources

−

 CPU, memory, and

I/O module. Partitioning support requiresTru64

UNIX V4.0F or later, or OpenVMS V7.2 or later

operating system and partitioning  licenses.

System Console Firmware Revision 5.5x is required.
Each partition requires a minimum of one CPU

module, one memory module, one I/O module,

and one DWLPB (PCI and PIU shelf) per partition.

Each partition has its own instance of the operating

system, independent system console, and error

log.

Each partition must have a dedicated console

terminal. The first partition will obtain this support

in a standard manner via the server console

panel. The second partition requires a 3X-KFE72-

LA to obtain this console support. H8571-J

adapter is required to connect 3X-KFE72-LA to

the console terminal; 3X-KFE72-LA includes a

diskette drive, which is required to support RAID

Configuration Utility (RCU).

For more information regarding Tru64 UNIX V4.0F

partitioning configuration hardware guidelines and

console partition commands, see Tru64 UNIX

V4.0F SPD 41.61.22 and Tru64 UNIX V4.0F

System Administration Guide, Appendix E.4.

For more information regarding OpenVMS Galaxy

partitioning guidelines and support, see

http://www.openvms.digital.com/availability/GALA

XY.HTML.

Minimum Hardware Required per GS60E Partition
Dual Alpha 21264 6/525-MHz CPU module (at least

one Rev. D01 CPU Alpha 21264 module per

system).

GB)

KFTHA-AA I/O module
DWLPB-DA shelf mount box

3X-RRDRX-AA CD-ROM drive or network adapter;

additional SCSI CD-ROM's can be configured in

StorageWorks shelf using supported I/O adapters

Console terminal with shielded console cable
Tru64 UNIX Hardware Partition license per partition

for second partition support (QM-MT4AA-AA)

OpenVMS software partition license is required for

each CPU in a  partition (QL-66XAA-3B/3C/3D/3F

)

Unsupported Options for GS60E Partitions
