Based on the information you provided everyone can only suggest this:

Do the appropriate steps to make it!

How about posting some more information like the parstatus etc.

Looks like you already have to active partitions. Where exactly is the problem?

the problem is interpretation

i have two active npars in the server npar0 and npar1
npar 0 is in the server cabinet
npar1 is in the expansion cabinet

question are each of the cabinets capabile of holding 2 npars thus giving me a total of 4 npars per server?

>>
npar 0 is in the server cabinet
npar1 is in the expansion cabinet

No and no no no!

There is only I/O in the expansion box - not a single CPU nor any byte of memory.

The CPUs and memory are in the main cabinet.

Look at this:

cab0,cell0 Active Core 8/0/8 32.0/0.0 cab0,bay0,chassis0 yes yes 0
cab0,cell1 Active Core 8/0/8 32.0/0.0 cab0,bay0,chassis1 yes yes 1
cab0,cell2 Active Base 8/0/8 32.0/0.0 cab8,bay0,chassis0 yes yes 1
cab0,cell3 Active Base 8/0/8 32.0/0.0 cab8,bay0,chassis1 yes yes 0

Each partition has some I/O in the main cabinet, some in the expansion.

Again, where is the problem?
