Dedicated Service LAN
Dedicated Service LAN
A dedicated service LAN provides connectivity between the OSM console running in a
PC and the maintenance firmware in the system hardware. This dedicated service LAN
uses a ProCurve 2524 Ethernet switch for connectivity between the ServerNet switch
boards for the IAOM and the system console.
This subsection includes:
An Integrity NonStop NS1000 system requires a dedicated LAN for system
maintenance through OSM. Only components specified by HP can be connected to a
dedicated LAN. No other access to the LAN is permitted. The dedicated service LAN
provides connectivity between the OSM console running on a PC and the maintenance
firmware in the system hardware.
Basic Configuration
A basic dedicated service LAN that does not provide a fault-tolerant configuration
requires connection of these components to the ProCurve 2524 maintenance switch
installed in the modular cabinet:
•
One connection for each system console running OSM.
•
Two connections for the IOAM enclosure.
•
At least two connections to Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapters (G4SA)
installed in an IOAM enclosure.
•
(Optional) one connection to one or more uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs).
