The basic building block of an nPartition is the cell. Each cell has on it processors and memory that are assigned exclusively to that nPartition.

>>one 6 cell partition

a partition consists of 6 cells

>>two 3 cell patrition

Hi Kumar,

A Cell Board, which contains a CPU and RAM. For detail see the below link.

An nPar(Partition) is a Node Partition, sometimes referred to as a Hard Partition. An nPar can be considered as a complete hardware and software solution that we would normally consider as an HP server. When we think about the basic hardware components in an HP server, we commonly think about the following:

At least one CPU,Memory,IO capability,An external interface to manage and configure the server, i.e., a system console and An operating system.
