Using XSB mode the hardware resources of a system board listed above can each be
divided into 4 independent extended system boards (XSBs). The interface for setting or
modifying PSB or XSB mode and its configuration is described in the section “Administering
the system board’s operating mode” on page 75.
XSBs can then be used as the basis for extended partitions (XPARs). The interface for this
function is described in the section “Configuring and modifying partitions” on page 78.
Here it is not necessary for the XSBs to be consecutive (XSBn, XSBn+1, XSBn+2,...,
XSBn+m) in an extended partition; partitions may also be formed on the basis of XSB00-0
and XSB00-3, for example. This is important inasmuch as the XSBs are equipped differently
with PCI slots (see figure 128 on page 400).
The table 17 indicates the XSBs that are used in the basic version of the different SX150
models.
As default, the first BS2000/OSD instance is installed on XSB00-0 and XSB00-1. If the
number of processors requires this, XSB01-1 and XSB01-2 on the second system board
are added.
