Providing Configuration Details

Note: You should begin the commissioning process by selecting a blueprint in the Blueprint tab.

In the Cores & Memory tab, provide information in the appropriate fields and then click Next. The following table provides details about various fields in the Cores & Memory tab:

Field

Action

Partition Chassis

Choose the required partition chassis; for example, Chassis-B.

Cores

Choose the number of cores you want to assign to the partition image. The number of cores available depends on the partition chassis that you have chosen. The default value is 1.

Enable Hyper-Threading

Select the check box to enable selection of two logical processors per core.

Note: If Hyper-Threading is not supported by the platform or chassis, then this option is not available.

Logical Processors

Displays the number of logical processors, based on the number of cores.

Memory

Choose the memory size that you want to assign to the partition image. The default value is 2.

The memory range available depends on the partition chassis that you have chosen. The minimum value that can be chosen is 2 GB.

Notes:

  • Secure fabrics consume more memory. If you are planning to associate the partition image to a secure fabric, see Secure Fabrics and Memory Requirements for detailed information about memory usage by secure fabrics.

  • If you are assigning a larger memory, then the Fabric Manager might take longer time to commission the partition image. For example, if you have assigned a memory of 20 TB size, then the Fabric Manager might take about 30 minutes to commission the partition image.
