1.5.1 Overview of Physical Partition Dynamic Reconfiguration
You can configure physical partitions using the building block method for SPARC M12-2S or SPARC M10-4S units. The physical partition dynamic reconfiguration (PPAR DR) function is a technology that enables the addition and removal of hardware resources (CPU, memory, and I/O) to and from a physical partition. This function works without the need to stop any task on the physical partition.
The unit of addition or removal is one SPARC M12-2S or SPARC M10-4S (building block <BB>). The firmware handles this unit as a system board (PSB). The hardware resources installed on the PSB (BB) can be reconfigured logically and dynamically.
Note - For details on the support information for the hardware resources (CPU, memory, and I/O) for which the physical partition dynamic reconfiguration function can be used, see the latest Product Notes of the server used.
