− Evaluate Configuration Requirements to Support Optional Partitioning (continued)
System Software Required for AlphaServer GS160 Hardware Partition Support
Software Licensing for Hardware Partitions
• Base systems include operating system license (Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS) that licenses hardware partitions up to the physical limit of the base system
package: two hardware partitions for Model 8 systems, four partitions for Model 16 systems.
User and capacity-based licensing is unaffected by hardware partitions. Examples:
• If a product is licensed for 200 concurrent users, these users can be split among the partitions, but cannot exceed 200 total users.
• If users have an enterprise capacity license for a product, that license can be loaded into the license databases on each of the hardware
partitions.
Licensing Partitioned AlphaServer GS160 Systems for Both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX
• If the system requires both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX operating systems be licensed, one operating system license is included in the
base system and the second is added as a line item. The second operating system license upgrade, which includes the license for only
one CPU, would be added to the order using the following part numbers. Order appropriate media and documentation kits from Step 13.
OpenVMS software upgrade for GS160/GS320
QB-63PAQ-AG
Tru64 UNIX software upgrade for GS160/GS320
QB-595AN-AA
• Only those SMP processors intended for use with the second operating system must be similarly licensed. Use the following license-
only part numbers to add an SMP license for any CPUs intended for use with the second operating system:
OpenVMS Alpha SMP license for GS160/GS320 QL-MT1A9-6R
Tru64 UNIX Alpha SMP license for GS160/GS320 QL-MT4A9-6R
• The order of licensing is not important, but the following examples are similarly constructed for clarity. The configuration starts with a
Tru64 UNIX base system part number and the addition of OpenVMS licenses.
Example 1: 16-CPU GS160 system in which all processors are licensed for both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX:
• Base system order would include a DA-160CE-Ax and 15 3X-KN8BA-AD SMP upgrade CPUs
• Add one QB-63PAQ-AG OpenVMS Software Upgrade and 15 QL-MT1A9-6R OpenVMS Alpha SMP licenses
Example 2: 16-CPU GS160 system in which all the processors are licensed for Tru64 UNIX and eight processors are also licensed for
OpenVMS:
• Base system order would include a DA-160CE-Ax and 15 3X-KN8BA-AD SMP upgrade CPUs
• Add one QB-63PAQ-AG OpenVMS software upgrade and seven QL-MT1A9-6R OpenVMS Alpha SMP licenses
• User and capacity-based licenses would be added for the second operating system environment as though it were a standalone system.

− Redundant (N+1) Power Supplies
• Power supplies included with Model 8 and Model 16 systems can support all combinations of CPUs, memory, and I/O that can be
configured within the system boxes.
• Additional 48V power regulators can be ordered to provide N+1 power redundancy.
• For Model 8 systems, order one power supply to achieve N+1 capability; for Model 16 systems, order two power supplies to achieve
N+1 capability.
