About the Legacy Partition Layout

As of the Tempo 2.9.0 release, the partition layout scheme has changed for SGI ICE X systems. If you upgraded a system to the Tempo 2.9.0 or later release, it is possible for your system to have the following mixture of slots:

  • Slots with the legacy, Tempo pre-2.9.0 partition scheme

  • Slots with the new Tempo 2.9.0 partitioning scheme

For information about Tempo and partitioning, see the following:
