Several types of logical partition configurations
exist for the BladeCenter® PS703 or PS704 blade
server.
Manufacturing default configuration
The manufacturing default
configuration is the initial
partition setup of the managed system as received from your service
provider.
Virtual I/O Server partition
The Virtual I/O Server
provides virtual SCSI
and shared Ethernet capability to client logical partitions on the PS703 or PS704 blade
server.
Partition workload groups Partition workload groups identify
sets of logical
partitions that reside on the same physical system. Workload management
tools, such as Enterprise Workload Manager™ (EWLM), use partition workload groups to identify
which logical partitions they can manage.
