NonStop NS14000 Planning Guide (H06.10+)

The one system console on the LAN must be configured as the primary system console. This
configuration can be called the setup configuration and is used during initial setup and installation
of the system console and the server.
The setup configuration is an example of a secure, stand-alone network. A LAN cable connects
the primary system console to the maintenance switch, and additional LAN cables connect the
VIO enclosures. The maintenance switch or an optional second maintenance switch allows you
to later add a backup system console and additional system consoles.
NOTE: Because the system console and maintenance switch are single points of failure that
could disrupt access to OSM, this configuration is not recommended for operations that require
high availability or fault tolerance.
When you use this configuration, you do not need to change the preconfigured IP addresses.
One System Console Managing Multiple Systems
The one OSM system console on the LAN must be configured as the primary system console.
Because all servers are shipped with the same preconfigured IP addresses for MSP0, MSP1,
$ZTCP0, and $ZTCP1, you must change these IP addresses for the second and subsequent servers
before you can add them to the LAN.
