A partition map specifies the hard partitions and soft partitions on a hardware platform, and assigns each dual-processor module (duo) to a partition. The Current Partition Map dialog box is invoked as the APW starting point, and displays the partition map and system information for the AlphaServer platform you selected. If you physically change the hardware, or shut down the operating system, APW rediscovers the current partition map when you click Refresh.
To view the Resources dialog box, click Resources on the Current Partition Map dialog box.
The Partition column in the Current Partition Map dialog box displays a color legend for the partition that corresponds with its display color in the Resources dialog box.
When you click Next>, you are taken to the Work with Partition Maps dialog box.
The following table explains the fields in this dialog box.
