Example System ServerNet Pathways
Example System ServerNet Pathways
This drawing shows the redundant routing and connection of the ServerNet X and Y
fabric within a simple example system. This example system includes:
•
Four processors with their requisite four LSU optics adapters
•
One IOAM enclosure connected to the PIC in slot 4 of each p-switch, making the
IAOM enclosure group 110. For configurations of the p-switches, IOAM enclosures,
and Fibre Channel disk drives, see Section 6, System Configuration Guidelines.
•
NonStop S-series I/O enclosure connected to port 4 PIC in slot 9 of each p-switch,
assigning group 64 to the enclosure
This drawing shows the ServerNet X fabric routing within an example system of:
•
16 processors with their requisite LSU optics adapters
•
Four IOAMs of group numbers 110 through 113
•
Four NonStop S-series I/O enclosures of group numbers 61 through 64
