Configuring Odd Numbers of Active Cores

Configuring Odd Numbers of Active Cores
HP processor modules typically contain two cores: for example, the HP Integrity Montvale 1.6 GHZ 24 MB module contains one
dual core processor, and the HP Integrity Itanium 2 Madison 9M module contains two single core processors. Therefore, it is most
common to see configurations with even numbers of active and Instant Capacity cores.
Effective August 15, 2006, HP Instant Capacity allows partitions in new systems to be configured with odd numbers of active cores
by ordering factory integrated processor core usage rights. For example, a Customer may want to order an HP Integrity Superdome
with a single cell partition with three active Montvale cores and five Instant Capacity Montvale cores. The quote for such a
configuration would contain:
1 × HP Superdome sx2000 Cell Board (A9837A)
1 × HP Superdome Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB 1P/2C module, Factory integrated (AD374A-0D1)
3 × HP Superdome iCAP Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB 1P/2C modules, Factory integrated (AD375A-0D1)
1 × Right to Use for one Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB Processor Core (AD376A)
1 × Right to Use for one Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB Processor Core, Factory integrated (AD376A-0D1)
This configuration option is supported on Arches Midrange and High End (sx2000 Superdome, rx7640/rx8640).
HP instant capacity allows add-on cell boards to be configured with odd number of active cores. For example, a customer may want
to order an add-on sx2000 cell board with three active Montvale cores and five Instant Capacity Montvale cores. The quote for such
a configuration would contain:
1 × HP Superdome sx2000 add-on Cell Board (A9837A)
1 × HP Superdome Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB 1P/2C module, Factory integrated (AD362A-0D1)
3 × HP Superdome iCAP Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB 1P/2C modules, Factory integrated (AD363A-0D1)
1 × Right to Use for one Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB Processor Core (AD364A)
1 × Right to Use for one Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB Processor Core, Field integrated (AD364A-02A)
HP Instant capacity also allows add-on processors (without cell board) with odd number of cores. For instance, in the above example
if the customer wants to order one active Montvale and 3 iCAP Montvale cores to an exiting cell board, the quote for such a
configuration would look like
2 × HP Superdome iCAP Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB 1P/2C modules (AD375A)
1 × Right to Use for one Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB Processor Core (AD376A)
1 × Right to Use for one Montvale 1.6 GHz 24 MB Processor Core, Field integrated (AD376A-02A)
