Table 8 Checklist of Installation and Migration Tasks — Tasks 1 through 8 (continued)
For more information, see...Installation/Migration Tasks
Service providers, for ACH information refer to “Advanced
Cluster Hubs (ACHs)” (page 38).
If the BladeCluster zone requires installation of the
ACHs, only a service provider can install the hubs
on the rack rails.
Verify each node has the supported switches and
cables for BladeCluster connectivity:
• “Hardware Overview” (page 18)
• “Cables” (page 85)
• BladeSystem nodes — HP ServerNet switch for
BladeCluster: (two switches with fully-populated
optics are required per BladeSystem node).
NOTE: The ServerNet switches for BladeCluster
are typically installed in the first c7000 enclosure
of each BladeSystem. However, in multi-zone
topologies configured with high-availability
anchor nodes, the X and Y fabric ServerNet
switches are installed in the first (Group 100)
and second (Group 101) c7000 enclosures of
each BladeSystem anchor node.
• NonStop NS16000 series nodes — Processor
switch with supported quad MMF PICs installed
in slots 7 and 9: (two processor switches are
required per NonStop NS16000 series node).
TIP: The quad MMF PICs in slots 7 and 9 are
reserved for BladeCluster connectivity. If these
PICs are currently connected to IOAM enclosures
or CLuster I/O Modules (CLIMs), your service
provider must disconnect and reconnect the
IOAM enclosures and CLIMs to different p-switch
ports. Refer to the NonStop NS16000 Series
Planning Guide for instructions.
Service providers:If the BladeSystem or NonStop NS16000 series
nodes require the supported switch, only a service

BladeSystem service procedure.
provider can install this hardware. The installation
can be done one fabric at a time without requiring
a system load.
• For installation instructions for the quad MMF PICs in a
NonStop NS16000 series node, refer to the OSM
Replacing P-switch online help.
• For safety information related to hardware information,
refer to Safety Requirements for Service Providers
(page 92).
Service providers, for DWDM information refer to:If the BladeCluster zone requires installation and
connection of a DWDM, only a service provider
can install and connect this equipment.
• Safety Requirements for Service Providers (page 92).
• “Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexer (DWDM) ”
(page 20)
• Connections to BladeCluster/Multi-Zone Solution
Topologies (page 63)
Task 2: Plan Your Expand Nodes, Related Processes, and Expand-Over-ServerNet Lines
For more information, see...Installation/Migration Tasks
Check that all Expand nodes to be added have
unique system names and system numbers (also
Expand Configuration and Management Manual
ServerNet Cluster 6780 Planning and Installation Guide
known as Expand node numbers). Record these
names.
