Fibre Channel Disk Module
•
Up to six ServerNet I/O adapters are supported, and a minimum of two FCSAs and
two G4SAs must be installed. Fibre Channel ServerNet adapters (FCSAs) are
used for communicating with storage devices such as a Fibre Channel Disk
Module, tape devices, or an Enterprise Storage System (ESS) disk. Gigabit
Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapters (G4SAs) are used for Ethernet connectivity.
•
FCSAs and G4SAs 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.
•
In OSM, IOAM power supplies have actions to configure the power source as AC
or UPS in case of power failure.
Fibre Channel Disk Module
The Fibre Channel disk module (FCDM) is a storage device containing disk drives that
connect to an FCSA in an IOAM enclosure in an Integrity NonStop NS1000 server. For
a general description of the Fibre Channel disk module, refer to the NonStop NS-
Series Planning Guide. Details about the use or implementation of the Fibre Channel
disk module that are specific to an Integrity NonStop NS1000 server are presented
here.
•
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 (Optional)
For an overview of tape drives and the interface hardware, see FCSA to Tape Devices
on page 6-9.
For a list of supported tape devices, refer to the NonStop NS-Series Hardware
Installation Manual.
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
Note. Connections to SCSI tape drives through a Fibre Channel to SCSI router (model
M8201R) are not supported in Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems.
