The AMM can be accessed remotely, so partitioning can be done without physically touching

the systems. Partitioning can allow you to qualify two system types with little additional work,

and it allows you more flexibility in system types for better workload optimization.

The HX5 blade, when scaled as a 2-node (4-socket) system, supports FlexNode partitioning

as standard.

Before a 2-node HX5 solution can be used, you must create a partition. When the scalability

card is added, the two blades still act as single nodes until a partition is made.

For more information about creating a scalable complex, see 8.6, "Creating an HX5 scalable

complex" on page 402.
