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:

Table D-1 shows the legacy partition layout for a one-slot SGI ICE X system. This layout yields one boot partition.
Table D-1. Partition Layout for a Single-boot SGI ICE X System
Partition | File System Type | File System Label | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | ext3 | sgiboot | /boot partition. |
2 | - | N/A | Extended partition. Makes logicals out of the rest of the disk. |
5 | swap | sgiswap | Swap partition. |
6 | ext3 on SAC, service nodes. XFS on RLCs. | sgiroot | / partition. |
Table D-2 shows the legacy partition layout for a two-slot SGI ICE X system. This layout yields two boot partitions.
Table D-2. Partition Layout for a Dual-boot SGI ICE X System (Default Layout)
Partition | File System Type | File System Label | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | swap | sgiswap | Partition layout for multiple slots. |
2 | ext3 | sgidata | SGI data partition. |
3 | - | N/A | Extended partition. Makes logicals out of the rest of the disk. |
5 | ext3 | sgiboot | Slot 1 /boot partition. |
6 | ext3 on SAC, service nodes. XFS on RLCs. | sgiroot | Slot 1 / partition. |
7 | ext3 | sgiboot | Slot 2 /boot partition. |
8 | ext3 on SAC, service nodes. XFS on RLCs. | sgiroot | Slot 2 / partition. |
Table D-3 shows the legacy partition layout for a five-slot SGI ICE X system. This layout yields five boot partitions.
