A domain consists of one or more system boards running the same operating system kernel. Domains function independently of each other. Each domain can carry its own workload and has its own log messages file. For more information, see "To Create Domains From Within Hostview" and "To Remove Domains From Within Hostview".

Individual Domains 

When you select an individual domain, only the boards within that domain are displayed. Note that the color of the outline used to designate a given domain is also used as the background color for that domain in the menu.
