Assigning a Cell to a Partition




	NOTE: Only licensed cells (containing fully licensed memory and at least one licensed processor) can be active in a partition.

When a cell is assigned to a partition in an iCOD system, depending on the number of licensed processors available in the system when the cell is assigned, the number of intended active processors for the partition automatically changes. The following example of a single partition with one assigned and one unassigned cell illustrates this:

Table 4-1 Partition pre-modification state: One cell assigned with 3 active and 1 inactive processors

Cell 1
A A A I

Table 4-2 Partition pre-modification state: Unassigned cell with 2 licensed and 2 unlicensed processors

Cell 2
L L U U

Table 4-3 Partition post-modification state: Cell 2 assigned to partition

Cell 1	Cell 2
A A A I	A A I I

When Cell 2 is assigned to the partition, the number of intended active processors for the partition is automatically changed to 5. When the partition is rebooted, 5 processors in the partition are activated.

In general, when an unassigned cell is assigned to a partition, the iCOD software determines the number of unassigned processors in the complex that are licensed. The iCOD software uses these licenses to activate as many processors as possible in the new cell.




	NOTE: Cell boards are assigned to specific partitions and cannot be shared between partitions. All processors on a cell board are accessible only by a maximum of one partition. Processors on one cell board cannot be shared across multiple partitions.
