Tape Drive and Interface Hardware
•
Only configurations with one IOAM enclosure containing a maximum of four
FCSAs are supported. The IOAM enclosure group number is 100.
•
FCSAs are supported for installation in slots 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 of the
IOAM enclosure for an Integrity NonStop NS1000 server. However, a minimum of
two FCSAs and two G4SAs must be installed.
•
Up to four FCDMs with 14 disk drives in each FCDM can be daisy-chained
together for a maximum of 16 FCDMs in the Integrity NonStop NS1000 server.
Tape Drive and Interface Hardware
For an overview of tape drives and the interface hardware, see FCSA to Tape Devices
on page 6-9.
Maintenance Switch (Ethernet)
The HP ProCurve 2524 maintenance switch provides the communication between the
Integrity NonStop NS1000 system at the switch boards in the IOAM enclosure, the
optional UPS, and the system console running HP NonStop Open System
Management (OSM). For a general description of the maintenance switch, refer to the
NonStop NS-Series Planning Guide. Details about the use or implementation of the
maintenance switch that are specific to an Integrity NonStop NS1000 server are
presented here.
The Integrity NonStop NS1000 system requires multiple connections to the
maintenance switch:
•
One connection to each of the two ServerNet switch boards in the IOAM enclosure
•
At least two connections to the G4SAs installed in the IOAM enclosure for the
OSM Service Connection and OSM Notification Director:
°
One connection to the optional UPS module
°
One connection for the system console running OSM
Optional UPS and ERM
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is optional but recommended where a site UPS
is not available. You can use any UPS that meets the modular cabinet power
requirements for all enclosures being powered by the UPS. One UPS option is the HP
R5500 XR UPS.
Cabinet configurations that include an R5500 XR UPS also have one extended runtime
module (ERM). An ERM is a battery module that extends the overall battery-supported
system run time. A second ERM can be added for even longer battery-supported
system run time.
Adding an R5500 XR UPS to a modular cabinet in the field requires removing the PDU
on the right side of the modular cabinet and installing HP extension bars that are
