rp7410, one partition, four drives

[VINCENT SPURGEON]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recently received a "used" rp7410 with one core i/o card, two cell cards, and four internal disk drives.

I have one partition with both cell cards and works great, but I cannot access the second set of disk drives.

It is my understanding that I would need an additional MP Core I/O card to have access to the other drives. If I do that, can I still have one partition with four drives?

Thanks!

To access the secondary drives you must have the second core I/O. you will still be able to have a single partition system.

Josh is correct - you will also need to have a minimum of 4 x CPU's to access 4 x drives because each cell board must have a minimum of 2 x processors installed on it.
