Base Module
855-900549 2-2
2.1. Partition Function
The base module has the partition function which enables the system to operate as if multiple
units are present on one unit.
The system is capable of partitioning in units of the cell or I/O module within the same base
module. For example, in a system consisting of two cells and two I/O modules, partitioning
shown in the figure below is possible.
Note that each partition should contain at least one cell card and one I/O module (including the
core module).
The partition structure in the base module can be changed with the “hc” command of the SP
command. (For details of the SP command, see 2.4.6 SP Command Reference.)
