Compaq AlphaServer Partition Manager

9-7

Figure 9–3 shows the Current Partition Map screen. The partition map
provides information about the GS80/160/320 system in the form of a table.

The parts of the display are described here.

Partition – A number from 1 to the number of quad building blocks (QBB) in
the system (maximum 8) or Unassigned. Any QBB that has not explicitly been
assigned to a partition is part of the Unassigned partition. If the system has
already been partitioned, with either CAPM or console commands, and this
partitioning is still in effect, that partitioning information is displayed here.

Name – The name you give to the partition in the Add/Modify Hard Partition
screen. Naming the partition is optional.

Status – Running if the QBB is powered up; otherwise Not Running.

OS Type – The operating system that will run in this partition. This is set in
the Add/Modify Hard Partition screen and can be Tru64 UNIX, OpenVMS,
OpenVMS Galaxy, or Unknown.

QBB – The hard QBB number.

There is one line in the partition map for each

QBB.

CPUs – The number of CPUs found by CAPM in the QBB during the discovery
process.

Memory – The amount of memory (in megabytes) found by CAPM in the QBB
during the discovery process.

I/O? – Yes if CAPM detected an I/O adapter in the PCI box with the standard
I/O module; otherwise No.

Console? – Yes if CAPM found a standard I/O module during discovery;
otherwise No.

You can resize the columns in the display by clicking on a divider between
columns and dragging. Roll the mouse over a button at the bottom of the screen
to see a description of it in the block above the buttons.

CAPM uses only hard QBB numbers. See the AlphaServer GS80/160/320 Firmware

Reference Manual for a discussion of hard and soft QBB numbers.
