Introduction

Partitioning is defined as the capability to run multiple copies, or instances, of an

operating system on one hardware system. Each instance is maintained at a

separate console monitor, as shown for two partitions in Figure 1–1. The

Compaq AlphaServer GS140 system supports up to three partitions; the

Compaq AlphaServer GS60E supports two partitions.
